Close-Up of Rock Hyrax in Natural Habitat, South Africa - Stock-Fotografie

The Rock Hyrax (Procavia capensis), also known as the dassie, is pictured in its natural habitat at Augrabies Falls National Park, South Africa. This small, terrestrial mammal is closely related to the elephant and manatee despite its rodent-like appearance. Rock hyraxes are known for their social behavior and live in colonies in rocky terrains, where they feed on grasses, leaves, and fruits. Their sharp, curved incisors and nimble agility allow them to thrive in the rugged landscape. Augrabies Falls National Park, renowned for its stunning waterfall and diverse wildlife, provides an ideal environment for these creatures.
