- A small furry mammal's roots that trace back to one of the largest animals to roam the continent are revealed. The Rock Hyrax goes by many names including the Rock Rabbit and Dassie. It tends to enjoy life of the edge, living in mountainous crevices. The animal also seems to have exceptional vocalization skills joining an eclectic group of communicators who rank as some of the largest in world. CCTV Travers Andrews reports
they're so cute! and its really interesting how they're related to elephants!
Its false that animal is not related to elephants and manatees genetically, thise are just freak theories.
HYRAX!
I saw this amazing animal once. It was very quick and I managed to take a photo only when it was behind the bush.
Potatoes of the Savannah!
came here form metal gear solid 5 - quite interesting
Foraging on rubbish @ 1:07
looking for food on rubbish? That makes no sense. Are you looking for the word "chew"?
So adorable.
Hyraxes might look like marsupials or rodents but are actually related to neither! Definitely looks like the Australian marsupial Quokka
They kinda look like capybaras
They live in my compound. Hahaha. I like that animals
1:07 hyrax eating a plastic fork
No don't eat the fork buddy!
My fave animal. i love it. and i love dogs cats rabbits hamsters horses and guniue pigs
A Canadian visitor was saying that they looked like beavers. Another Canadian said that's beavers without tails.
Yes, they do! Maybe at first glance, and seen from a distance. And, at least to those Canadians they did.
And, a case of beavers, dassies, and groundhogs looking similar, or somewhat similar.
Incidentally, beavers are groundhogs are rodents. Dassies are not, and are related to the elephant, believe it or not.
Smol boi
I don't like the narrator's voice and tone. Sounds unnenthusiastic.
He sounds like he hates his job
He is in a hurry...to catch the afternoon train.
Very cute.
Too cool!!
That’s what a hyrax sound like when speaking human
1:08 sad part of the video from our role
Interesting animals.
That was a very interesting and informative video, thank you for making it. I'm reading an article about the rock hyrax and had never heard of one. Now, I know all ;)
Look at hyraxes from the side, they actually kinda DO look like elephants, at least to me.
عندنا في المملكة نتغذا عليها ناكلها لحمه جميل
Its false that animal is not related to elephants and manatees genetically, thise are just freak theories.
The narrator sounds like an auctioneer at an auction. All the words just mix together.
Small elephant 🐘
I need it
Rock rabbits.

The narrator's voice is annoying! Hard to listen to
THANK YOU
They all pee at the same place. It crystalizes into a fragrant material which is (was) used in the perfume industry.
Damn when I went near a cave where they lived it didn't smell very fragrant.. probably didnt dry yet
E
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
T.I.A
Oh bs animals bring forth after their own kind.
China looking for more animals to eat

Really, their feet are made for rock climbing when their habitat can be rocks...and what a resemblance to elephants. He should listen to how he sounds--ridiculous.
You don't know shit
At the 01:15 mark he mentions that the foot of the hyrax was "designed." Yes. Yes it was designed wasn't it. Genesis 1:24.
How much paint do you huff
Very much so Ben.
The Bible is full of bullshit.
@@strawbunnymilk81 how do you measure that
@rgtrooper13 I like how toxic everyone is over something from the bible. God's sake, aren't you grown up?
Evolution ironically relies on abiogenesis which has lightning as the creative force. I say ironic because lightning is representative of Satan! Evolution swaps The Creator for the Devil! LOL!
I don’t know why they had to mention evolution. Another subtle way to discredit the Creator.
Hyraxes or dassies will always be close cousins of elephants.
That isn't even remotely true.
The correlation between the Hyrax and the elephant is absolutely ridiculous. It’s an incredibly wise animal. I totally disregard the elephant information because that’s not relevant at all, but mere speculation.
ARE YOU TAKING THE PISS ?!?!?! Next you'll be telling me a bloody whales related to the kangaroo !!!!
its not relative to elephant. at all. some feature similiar doesnt mean its related to elephant.
It's proven by DNA you moron
They are you idiot
Seems like people who made this video are a huge fan of Pokemon.
If they were really a relative of Elephants, wouldn't they be called elephants? This is not even a scientific discovery.
Relative doesn't mean same species. Humans are classified as primates but that doesn't mean we are spider monkeys
Dolphins are really toothed whales, but we don't call them whales.
Its false that animal is not related to elephants and manatees genetically, thise are just freak theories.
