      Yeah it’s funny - and honestly these guys know me the least of all the ones ive had here over the past few years. Most encounters with hyrax are just barely seeing them run away. People assume they are rats because they don’t really get good looks at them in the wild. Dashing away is their number one defense. But here I just get to dwell with them.

      So many interesting species of fauna flora there.

      Yeah! I didn’t know they existed until I moved into the house and my landlord was like “oh no one even notices these creatures - but they are fascinating.”

      It’s a tad bit boring - the view from my back room is better because it sees where they eat and take diet baths. But I haven’t been working from home much lately.

      They really are growing up! It looks like another family has joined. I found 7 babies as night fell tonight. There’s three that look to be a month younger.

    They are such strange animals. Rodent properties, but also sort of like Prairie Dogs or maybe groundhogs.

      @squiggythehyrax  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yup! During the day it’s when I use the toilet (since they sun themselves here, on the roof of my bathroom) and at night they sleep above my bedroom. I hear ‘em scratch too. But it’s very faint. Not at all disturbing.
