I can haz anyule pass?
first? wtf is that?
It is a hyrax, they are the closest living relation to the elephants.
Stop! This is the dassie-po-po. They’re known as a ‘dassie’ here in South Africa where they are indigenous.
Yup, that’s a dassie alright!
Dat fing has a biiiig butt.
Kinda reminds me of a capybara – which in turn makes me want to shout “Spooon”
It’s a wombat!
Mortal wombat1!!!!1
muuv it troop! iz gard teh rear!
No, not a wombat. But I have no idea what.
PRose, you’re killin’ me softly! I thought it looked a bit like a capybara too, and thought of when Tick first met Speak!!
itt awlsew luuks liek a nootree-uh wifowt a tayl…
I think thats a pika- they live in the rockies their like a giant hamster
No, its too big to be a Pika. I think it may be a Rock Hyrax
Shouldn’t it be yellow and electric then?
Oh no wait, that’s a pikachu
Yawn…

I think its a nutria also known as Coypu (which I never heard of) – a large rodent with attractive fur
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coypu
It must be a Nutra or something related to the bild big rat species.
I believe it is either a pica or a marmot.
Wombat.
That is a Hyrax. Believe it or not, it’s closest relative is the elephant! I’d love to have one as a pet. They’re pretty smart.
Looks like a rock hyrax to me, too!
Onward mighty steed! I – I said ONward! No! Onward is THAT way!!!
The common name for the hyrax is “dassie”. It is a common animal in southern Africa
Your other left!
Psst – sez hyrax in teh eff-why-ai under teh bideo. Yep, iz relayted to teh lollephant.
I love the hyrax scratching his tubby little belly.
It’s a Hyrax
This is my stop. Turtle Route 74, always a relaxing commute.
I suspected I’d been to this exhibit before (Caldwell Zoo in Tyler, TX), and it’s confirmed in the video description. There’s an exhibit there with a dik-dik, some parrots, and a tortoise and rock hyrax (other things, too, but I’m forgetting). I have a few pictures myself of the hyrax on the tortoise’s back. At the front, there’s a waist-high tank of cichlids.
I’m fairly certain its a cappibara.
he is kyoot! and smart! he looks like a big rodent though
Yup, that’s a Rock Hyrax http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Hyrax, but in South Africa we call it a “Dassie” (pronounced “dussy”).
If you ever go up the cable car on Table Mountain in Cape Town, you’ll meet hundreds of them!
YES! It’s a Rock Hyrax! They are from Africa…so cute!
I think its either a cappi barra or a hyrax but I’m not sure
Sorry guys but that’s neither an Hyrax nor Capybara.
It’s a drop-bear (Ursa Antipodesata)
A large Australian marsupial that’s about the same size as a big wombat (or Capybara) and is the only arborial predator found in Australasia. It fills the same ecological niche that leopards occupy in Africa.
It isn’t very quick on the ground and so cannot compete with Dingos and has developed ambush tactics to hunt.
It will wait until a kangaraoo or other animal takes shelter from the Australian heat under a tree and then drop down and attack. Hence its nickname.
Usually the 40 – 50kg weight is enough to stun or sometimes even kill its prey outright but sharp claws and teeth will finish the job. Like the Duck Billed Platypus, males have a poison gland on thier hind legs.
Drop bears are nowhere near as widespread as they used to be and the last known human attack was in the late eighties when a party of campers was badly mauled by a pair of male Drop Bears in northern NSW.
It was thought that the attack was linked to heightened agression during the Bear’s breeding season.
slo an sure winz teh race.
not havin a hyrax on ur back helps too.
i think aesop cut that bit for lack of youtube.
lol, we get those by the hundred here in South Africa. We call it a “dassie”, buts it’s scientific name is indeed Rock Hyrax . . .
It reminds me of the creature from the game Limbo.
Hyracoidea
Did you know I’m a hyrax? Did you know I’m riding this tortoise . . . backwards? ::old spice music::
the german name for this little cutey is “klippschliefer”
Hyrax iz teh liddlest ungly — ungululol — crittur wif hoofs.
I am pretty sure it’s a Capybara. Sure isn’t a wombat
It’s a hyrax – also called a rock rabbit. Very common in South Africa
Grab shell, dude!
It is a dassie from Africa
Hyrax
No. It is not an Hyrax.
No. It is not a capybara.
It is a Drop-bear.
How many times people? I live in Australia for heavens’s sake.
Do you not think I would recognise one of our national fauna?
drop-bears are not real look it up
TEEHEE
That fluffy, chunky critter is one of the cutest animals I have ever seen.
It’s a R.O.U.S.
Princess Bride reference FTW! It too cute to be real ROUS but looks like a guinea pig on steroids. If he’s friendly, I’d scractch hims ears.
It’s a Rock Hyrax – if you have ever watched Born Free, Joy Adamson had a Rock Hyrax that she was very fond of.
hyrax. we has dem at our zoo. my favret one has name of Pudge.
