Rock hyraxes, also known as dassies, are small herbivorous mammals that are closely related to elephants despite their small size. They are well-adapted to their rocky habitats, using crevices for shelter and their sharp claws for climbing. Augrabies Falls National Park, with its rugged landscapes and diverse wildlife, provides an ideal environment for these resilient creatures.
