Hyrax

Hyraxes are animals that appear in The Lion King franchise.

Information
The hyrax is small and furry, and strongly resembles an oversized guinea pig. The bottom of a hyrax's foot is rubbery, which helps it climb steep rock surfaces and trees. The rock hyrax is grayish- or yellowish-brown in color and has a black or yellow dorsal spot. Rock hyraxes are known to spend mornings sunbathing, followed by short feeding excursions. They eat quickly, with family members keeping watch for predators. A shriek from the territorial male will alarm the other family members into scuttling for cover. They live in many different types of habitats, including dry savannas, rain forests, and moorlands.

They are very cautious eaters and frequently check the vicinity as they feed. Moisture is often obtained through their food, so hyraxes can last for a long time without water. Tree hyraxes eat fruits and leaves.
