Flag This WallpaperAdd to FavoritesEnlarge Wallpaper
Wallpaper Description:
(procavia capensis) Known as the Dassie or the Rock Rabbit, due to their rodent-like appearance but despite this, they are thought to be most closely related to the Elephant
and the Manatee. Although obviously much smaller than their distant ancestors, it is the teeth and bone structure that relates them to one another. The Rock Hyrax though, is such a unique mammal that it is classified in an order of it's own.
The Hyrax is a very sociable animal, living together in colonies of up to 50 individuals.. They spend the majority of their lives sunbathing on the rocks to warm up, before going off on short foraging trips, rarely far from the entrance to their home.
The Hyrax is an omnivorous animal, feeding on nearly everything it can find close to the colony's base. Rock Hyraxes feed on herbs, grasses, fruit and leaves, along with Bird's eggs, Insects and small Lizards
The Hyrax reaches an average age of seven years old in the wild but some have been known to live for up to 12 years in captivity.
Found throughout the south in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Rock Hyrax is usually found in rocky outcrops where there is a good variety of vegetation. They are very adaptable animals having been found living at altitudes ranging from sea level to 14,000 feet above it. Their habitats range from dry savanna to dense rainforest, but these areas must contain natural crevices between the rocks and boulders where the Hyrax is able to shelter as they do not dig burrows of their own.
