	Hyrax: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Hyrax
		From a distance and with a little imagination, a hyrax could be mistaken for a very well-fed rabbit—indeed, early Phoenician navigators mistook the rabbits of the Iberian Peninsula for hyraxes: the word Spain originally came from an ancient term meaning "land of the hyraxes".
		All modern hyraxes are members of the family Procaviidae (the only family in the Hyracoidea), and they are found only in Africa and the Middle-East.
		Present-day hyraxes retain a number of early mammal characteristics, in particular they have poorly developed internal temperature regulation (which they deal with by huddling together for warmth, and by basking in the sun, reptile-style).

	Hyrax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite the unexceptional appearance of modern hyraxes, the order has a remarkable prehistoric lineage and hyraxes may be the closest living relatives of the elephant.
		Hyraxes are short-legged, well-furred, rotund creatures with a mere stump for a tail.
		DNA evidence supports this theory, and the small modern hyraxes share numerous features with elephants, such as toenails, sensitive pads on their feet, small tusks, and the shape of some of their bones.

	Comparative Placentation
		South Africans refer to the commonest animal, the Cape hyrax, as the "Klippdachs"; in German it is known as "Schliefer".
		Hyraxes are known to live in small rock colonies ("kopjes") that are often separated by larger stretches of savannah.
		Hyraxes are very susceptible to toxoplasma infection; vegetables, which were infected by cat feces, decimated a colony of different hyrax species in Switzerland.

		HYRACOIDEA, a suborder of ungulate mammals represented at the present day only by the Syrian hyrax (Procama syriaca), the " coney " of the Bible, and its numerous African relatives, all of which may be included in the single genus Procama (or Hyrax), and consequently in the family Procamidae.
		These creatures have no proper English name, and are generally known as hyraxes, from the scientific term (Hyrax) by which they were for many years designateda term which has unfortunate!} had to give place to the earlier Procama.

		All hyraxes have a gland on their back, and in the Cape hyrax this is dark brown.
		Hyraxes have poor control over their body temperature, and instead use the sun's heat to regulate it, basking and huddling together.
		Hyraxes have a fascinating fossil history, having been the dominant herbivorous family in Africa whilst it was an island continent.

		Neither the hyrax nor the hare is a ruminant, as seems to be implied in Leviticus 11:5 and Deuteronomy 14:7, but their manner of chewing their food may readily have led them to be thought to chew the cud.
		The hyrax has four toes in front and three behind (the same number as in the tapir and in some fossil members of the horse family), all furnished with nails that are almost like hoofs, except the inner hind toes, which have claws.
		The hyraxes constitute a family of ungulates and, in spite of their small size, have points of resemblance to elephants or rhinoceroses, but are not closely allied to these or to any other known animals.
