Meet the Hyrax
by John Fields
A hyrax is a small rodent-like creature that is considered
a rodent. Its phylum is like fish, amphibians, reptiles,
birds, and mammals. Its diet is mainly varieties of grass
and shrubs. It is fully grown at 16 to 18 months old and it
lives for 9 to 14 years. They mainly live in Africa. We do
not know the population of the hyrax. Hyrax can climb
steep rocky surfaces because their feet are like a dome
that creates a vacuum.
