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

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.

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.

― Dreaded Burrito Gang (DJP), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 16:54 (2 years ago) Permalink
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.

What is it about perfume being made from revolting things like whale barf and deer sweat... and HYDRAX PISS!? :|
― Bloompsday (Trayce), Tuesday, 28 June 2011 05:46 (1 year ago) Permalink
Their urine is quite concentrated because they are a desert animal and it's more like gel than water. Whole colonies of them piss in the same designated toilet area for sometimes thousands of years so it really builds up and eventually petrifies. Under those circumstances you can imagine it would have a nice rich scent. ha-ha. This is true by the way.
― everything, Tuesday, 28 June 2011 14:10 (1 year ago) Permalink
To answer you question Trayce, these scents are principally worthwhile for perfume because they contain a lot pheromones. Most animal produce and expel pheromones from their body but in the case of hyraceum, ambergris (whale puke), muskdeer, castoreum (a beaver urine/nipple grease secretion), civet and so on, these animals have a couple of things in common - a specific, super-active gland that produces pheromones in huge quantities and also the secretion is not particularly offensive to human noses. ie. the best you can say is that they smell "interesting".
