Not a true Rock Star: Rock Hyrax (Procavia capensis), or Cape Hyrax - maximum card from Bophuthatswana <- wikipedia it yourself! :)


Take a good look and say which is the closest relative to this rock hyrax:
1 - marmot.
2 - mouse.
3 - elephant.
4 - rat.
5 - raccoon.

The answer is here:

Happy PFF! :)

    What an interesting looking animal! I love this postcard--I keep thinking they're going to jump out and get me. lol

    This is a perfect postcard for today--today is also National Rock 'n' Roll day. I couldn't find enough about the history of the holiday, so didn't post about it. It surely makes this day a fun one, doesn't it? Classic cars and Rock 'n' Roll!

    National Rock n Roll day? Bob posted the Rolling Stones yesterday. Coincidence? I think not!

    They look cute, but something in the expression around the mouth tells me they would rather bite you.

    They are so cute! I thought they would be related to the raccoon.

    Very cute! These do not look like our rodents - I vote raccoon, too!

    Crazy looking critters! They seem to have a solid marking down the face almost dividing colours! An interesting post!
