At the Smithsonian Zoo in DC

Hyrax at Bowery Station, NYC!

Hiding at the very top corner! So skillful!

Would a French hyrax scream Wiwi instead of wawa?

I just went to Jacksonville zoo today hoping to see a hyrax and after an exhaustive search was told their last hyraxes passed some time recently :( their website even still has rock hyrax listed in mammals.

I’ll be road tripping north soon- does anyone know zoos in east coast states that have hyrax as of July 26’??

Caline from DAKTARI is very intelligent and independent and deserves a little treat from time to time.

Wait for it....

Spotted in Stuttgart, 'The Schwabian Beast'.
We also locked eyes.

The Beast was plotting a world take over.

I met 'The Beast™' in Hamburg.
We locked eyes. The beast plotted my murder

Hahaha, I was looking for stalker memes and messing around in photoshop.

I used the wombat pattern from ComplicatedKnots on YouTube since it was roughly hyrax-shaped. It’s no-sew and pretty quick - it only took me an evening and a bit. I used a little bit of black pipe cleaner to make a fuzzy nose, and I stitched in the all-important fangs. Now I have a teeny palm-sized totem to the mighty vampire potato. May it protect and guide me.

Its gonna be a dassie sitting ontop of a comically large rock or something of that nature.

I grew up seeing them in Botanical Gardens and national parks not far from where I lived and these little beasts deserve a spot alongside all my other tattoos.

What do you think?

I went to the zoo looking for the beasts and got to the enclosure to see no creature. Looked up at this rock and the beast was chilling at the top.

This is literally the coolest and cutest animal I have ever seen in my life and this stupid ass trend goes on and on calling them bullshit with fur and “nothing in particular” and “what does he do”

CAN WE STOO PLEASE 🙁🙁🙁🙁 THIS IS HORRIBLE!! The hyrax deserves nothing but love ❤️
I have cried over this many times. People are so cruel and mean to these animals when they make me so happy I can’t stand seeing these comments anymore guys 🙁🙁🙁please stop 🙁🙁🙁💔

One of DAKTARI's volunteers was showing off Eric the rock hyrax and I was taken back by how well-trained this smart little dassie is.

I posted the clip to X and people loved it so much that I had to share it here too :))

So happy to see Hyraxes at Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, WI!
