Encyclopedic overview
Articles related to the Hyraxes, small, thickset, herbivorous mammals in the order Hyracoidea. Hyraxes are well-furred, rotund animals with short tails. Typically, they measure between 30 and 70 centimetres (12 and 28 inches) long and weigh between 2 and 5 kilograms (4 and 11 pounds). They are superficially similar to pikas and marmots, but are more closely related to elephants and manatees.
