Hyrax

Description:

Hyraxes are well-furred, rotund creatures with short tails. Most measure between 30 and 70 cm long and weigh between 2 and 5 kg. Hyraxes are sometimes described as being the closest living relative to the elephant. Male hyraxes lack a scrotum, and their testicles remain tucked up in their abdominal cavity next to the kidneys, much like elephants.

Habitat:

Dry Savanna and rocky areas.
