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.

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.

"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

Saw this on fb today and died. R Hyrax otm I just hope he doesn't need to be anywhere any time soon.
The Hyrax strikes me as being a bit like the Capybara, in that its young are just miniature versions of the adults.
― The New Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 16:51 (twelve years ago) link
isn't that like every mammal ever?
― Dreaded Burrito Gang (DJP), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 16:54 (twelve years ago) link
Well, not human babies. Or puppies. Or kittens. What I mean is that Capybara babies look just as sensible as their parents, and are similarly proportioned, while hyrax babies look just as fierce.

I am surprised that it has not came up in this thread that the fossilized urine of this little creature, which is known as Hyraceum, is commonly used in perfume. I was working at my friend's perfume store and one customer asked what was one of the weirdest scents so I gave her a whiff of the pure essence of Hyraceum to see what she thought. She said "well, it just smells like elephants to me". That was probably the most impressive thing that happened to me while working there.
