No? Have no idea what I’m talking about? Fine I’ll explain.

We have been up on this mountaintop lodge for about 24 hours now, but more accurately an evening to an afternoon. And during this time we have seen many rock hyraxes. I will include pictures but it’s bacially like a Guinea pig crossed with a squirrel. Unbelievably cute little furry potatoes that scamper about munching and crunching on all the plant life they can find. They can look anything between what I have just described and a gopher like thing, but the super adorable ones are up here! They live in groups of 10-80 and scamper around in the evening foraging for food!

Enchanted yet? They only get better.

They feed as a group in a large area and there a sentry hyrax that keeps watch over the group and warns of danger. Hyrax have amazing social structures resembling egalitarian societies, and they live very communally and there is no designated leader. They are the only nonhuman species that live like this. Hyrax calls are so unique that they can communicate in many different ways that essentially functions like caller ID for the rest of them. They are mentioned in the Bible and have I mentioned they are so fricken cute? I hope you love them as much as I do. And don’t worry, I have only one more long rant about how amazing an underrated animal is and it won’t be for a while. So enjoy these cute fluffers and have a wonderful
