Hyrax

“Hyrax is a genus of pachydermatous mammalia, intermediate in their character between the rhinoceros and the tapir. It is characterized by having no canine teeth, but long curved incisors. The front feet have four toes, and the hind feet three. The Cape hyrax is by the colonists of South Africa called rock badger and rock rabbit, from the fact that they inhabit rocky places. They are also called damans."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
