a hyrax is a verterbrate
The habitat of the Rock Hyrax ranges from dry savanna to dense rainforest. The Rock Hyrax seeks shelter in the natural crevices between rocks and boulders. They do not dig burrows of their own.
no
The rock hyrax is a small animal that lives in rocky areas of hills and mountains in Africa and the Middle East.
The rock hyrax is not found in Australia. The kookaburra is native; the dingo was brought by Aborigines several thousand years ago; the European hare was introduced in the 1800s; but the rock hyrax is not found in Australia at all.
In today's open-minded world, you are a hyrax if you truly want to be a hyrax. There is no rock climbing requirement. Counselors are available if you think you are, or would like to be, a hyrax.
