He is cuter but looks a little too smug.

the look of embarrassed confusion on the baboon when the hyrax first gets in his face is magnificent

MPx4A, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 13:48 (fourteen years ago) link

Baboons are nasty little shits though, I'm with the hyrax on this one.

Speaking of smug, ENBBs look like the next Wes Anderson kids flick.

Dirty Vicar to thread.

HI DERE! A while ago I went to this park on the Dead Sea called Ein Geddi or something, and there were loads of little Hyraxes there. They were very fierce. We also saw them on the way up to Masada. They were sitting on rocks.

The New Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 14:23 (fourteen years ago) link

I started this thread because I am about to fly out to Uganda, where hyraxes abound in the wild. I hope to take pictures of them looking cross. NB the guide book I have lists them under 'Oddities'.

chartres (goole), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 14:39 (fourteen years ago) link

they don't look like a plant either, so really it's looking like there'll be plenty to go round for the rest of us disgusting savages that can actually eat this thing.

He just struck me as having that sardonic James Mason look to him.

Matt DC, thank you for starting this wonderful thread.

I never realised the hyrax had such scary teeth.

The New Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 18:19 (fourteen years ago) link

Always confusing to me: Hyraxes are also called Coneys sometimes, but so are this animal, the Pika, which is related to rabbits:

The coney thing... I think that comes from the King James Bible, with whoever wrote it not having a clue what the little animals referred to in the OT were.
