Rock Hyrax, Longleat Safari Park

The rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) or rock badger, is also called the Cape hyrax and commonly referred to in South African English as the dassie. The rock hyrax is found across Africa and the Middle East, in habitats with rock crevices in which to escape from predators. They have a prominent pair of long, pointed tusk-like upper incisors which are reminiscent of the elephant, to which the hyrax is distantly related.
