Three rock hyrax are seen resting and foraging on a sunlit rocky cliff. They have compact bodies, short legs, round ears, and brown-gray fur that blends seamlessly with the stone. The hyrax sit close together on the rough surface, enjoying the warmth of the rock while remaining watchful for any potential danger.
Rock hyrax are herbivores, primarily feeding on leaves, grass, and bark. They often inhabit rocky environments, seeking shelter in crevices and cracks to evade predators. This provides a safe haven and allows them to observe their surroundings.
