Similar to elephants, the rock hyrax has two large incisor teeth which constantly grow like tiny tusks, while its skull structure and shape of its feet is also just like its bigger ancestor.

The two species share a surprising genetic link and similar to an elephant, the rock hyrax has two large incisor teeth which constantly grow like tiny tusks, while its skull structure and shape of its feet is also just like its elephant ancestor.

Hyrax feet are built for rock climbing with a moist, rubbery pad that provides a suction-cup effect to help it cling to rocks without slipping.

Very aptly named, the rock hyrax lives in rocky terrain and is be found in colonies of between two and 26 individuals across Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

The hyrax deposits are collected from their giant latrine with no disturbance or ill effects to the lovely little creatures.

Specimens were then frozen and coronally sectioned in 20 mm sections in a cryotome at -20[degrees]C (Hyrax C52, Zeiss) in Tissue-Tek O.C.T.

Atrash told WAFA that what distinguishes the Dead Sea desert is that it is located in the middle of three climatic systems - the crater pit, the Jerusalem mountain range and the Mediterranean Sea - which gave it a special advantage that turned it into a tourist area specifically in the spring because of its unique plant and animal diversity, such as the Nubian wild goat (or capra aegagrus), the Dead Sea crow, the rock hyrax or rock badger, and the acacia plant.

Hyrax screws of 12 mm gauge were adapted bilaterally on the buccal aspects of the molars on the wax.

The acrylic structure of the dental-mucus-supported Haas expander appliance differentiates it from the Hyrax expansion appliance.

The aims of this retrospective study were to assess the possible changes in soft tissue facial profile caused by bone-borne SARME and RME using cast hyrax expander, and to determine whether there exists a correlation between the soft tissue alterations and the underlying hard tissue changes.

The most important prey species are the Arabian Gazelle, Nubian Ibex, Cape Hare, Rock Hyrax, Indian Crested Porcupine, Desert Hedgehog and several bird species.
