ABSTRACT- Deposits left in caves by the rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) were used to reconstruct the paleoenvironments of a remote desert area in the Hadamawt region of southern Yemen.
Rock hyrax is not found at this locality today, and the landscape is barren, possibly due to recent browsing by goats and camels.

 hyrax --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
The bush hyraxes (Heterohyrax) and the rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) are terrestrial animals that live in groups among rocks and are active by day.
Hyraxes are rodentlike in appearance, with squat bodies and plump heads; the neck, ears, and tail are short, as are the slender legs.

in reducing damage by the rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) to fruit trees.
In Israel, P. capensis lives in natural crevices of rocky terrain and in the long heaps or terraces of rocks uprooted in the process of rocky-ground reclamation and dumped around newly-planted fruit orchards.
The hyraxes browse on the rows of deciduous and subtropical fruit trees adjacent to their rocky shelter.

Hyraxes themselves have a number of similarities - in Heterohyrax, the 2n is 54, identical to Procavia and Dendrohyrax, and sequences of 2 mtDNA genes show close relation between Procavia and Heterohyrax (Barry, Shoshani 2000).
Hyraxes increase in weight as follows: 1 1/2 month - 0.4 kg (Heterohyrax) and 0.6 (Procavia), 3 month - 0.6 (H.) and 0.9 (P), 6 month - 0.8 (H), 1.6 kg (P), 1 yr.
Hyraxes, or species from the order Hyracoidea, Family Procaviidae are the smallest herbivorous hoofed mammals, similar to rodents' body form, but related to Proboscidea (elephants) and Sirenia (dugongs and manatees) with which they share numerous physiological similarities (Bigalke 1968, Estes 1991).

Rock Dassie - Procavia capensis of Southern Africa
The Rock Dassie gets its name from the Dutch for small badger: dasje, which is a more accurate description than the English 'rock rabbit', as the dassie has very tiny ears and no tail.
