    WTF is a hyrax? Regardless, they are either hatching an evil plot for world domination or the one on the far right is farting on the other two and the one on the far left is getting ready to open up a can of whup-ass.

    A hyrax (from Greek ὕραξ yrax "shrewmouse") is any of four species of fairly small, thickset, herbivorous mammals in the order Hyracoidea: The Rock Hyrax Procavia capensis, the Yellow-spotted Rock Hyrax Heterohyrax brucei, the Western Tree Hyrax Dendrohyrax dorsalis, and the Southern Tree Hyrax, Dendrohyrax arboreus. They live in Africa and the Middle East.

    Hyraxes are well-furred rotund creatures with a short tail. Most measure between 30–70 cm long and weigh between 2–5 kg.

    With the exception of manatees and dugongs, they are the closest living relatives to elephants, though clearly they most closely resemble criminal guinea pigs.

    They do have a thuggish look to them. I've never trusted elephants either. They seem smug and I can tell they don't respect me.

    SGE. Both informative and eeple.
