The rock hyrax is one angry looking motherfucker

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.

Gah that one looks like John Humphrys too.

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.

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'.

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.

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

lol @ all this

never heard of these guys before!

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.

Not had this picture yet?

Cigar-chomping hyrax.

the rock hyrax, my favorite treyf beastie

XD

man this makes want to put on Hate Fear And Power

i dunno why anyone ever got it in their minds to EAT one. though maybe that was the POINT of making hyrax meat treyf.

okay, so i just got the okay from the guys at animal reviews to do a piece or three and just finished a lengthy essay on the household dust mite.
I think maybe a rock hyrax next, after the california condor.

I would imagine they're quite fatty, given they don't appear to do anything other than sit on rocks barking at people.

so did you see any in the flesh in uganda??

No :(

:(

"what is the rock hyrax?" was the answer to a video question on Jeopardy! tonight

nobody got it, and a dumb guy who went home with a big fat goose egg guessed it was an otter even though the category was "rock" words/phrases
