		They are short-legged, rotund creatures with a mere stump for a tail; well-furred and about the size of a domestic cat.
		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.

		HYRACOIDEA, a suborder of ungulate mammals represented at the present day only by the Syrian hyrax (Procavia syriaca), the " coney " of the Bible, and its numerous African relatives, all of which may be included in the single genus Procavia (or Hyrax), and consequently in the family Procaviidae.
		of the Hyracoidea were unknown, partly owing to the fact that certain fossils were not recognized as really belonging to that group.
		The femur has a small third trochanter, the radius and ulna and tibia and fibula are respectively separate, at least in the young, and the fibula articulates with the astragalus.

		Taxeopody in the Carpus and Tarsus of Oligocene Pliohyracidae (Mammalia: Hyracoidea) and the Phyletic Position of Hyraxes -- Rasmussen et al.
		Recent hyracoids and elephants share a taxeopode arrangement of tarsal and carpal bones, a condition in which bones are aligned with minimal interlocking between adjacent elements.
		Taxeopody in hyracoids cannot be attributed to selection for carpal and tarsal rotation in climbers because the Oligocene, Miocene, and Recent species show great diversity in body size and probably locomotor specializations, despite relative uniformity of structure in the carpus and tarsus.

		Also, most of the rabbits mentioned in English Bible translations were actually hyraxes, as early translators could not come up with a specific word for these animals, which were unknown in Europe at that time.
		All modern hyraxes are members of the family Procaviidae (the only family within the Hyracoidea) and are found only in Africa and the Middle East.

	Hyracoidea
		The Tree Hyrax is at ease in the trees.
		THE ORDER HYRACOIDEA: The hyrax, or dassie, is an odd mammal that superficially resembles a guinea pig and is about the size of a rabbit.
		But to live in these different environments the Hyrax has developed glands in the soles of their feet that secret a substance allowing them to maintain a firm grip in the rocks and trees where they live much like the traction suction cups provide.
