Calîne the rock hyrax on a chilly day

Hyraxes have bad thermoregulation (body temperature regulation), so on colder days here in South Africa, Calîne and Eric from DAKTARI spend their time lounging around. Here Caline gives a biiig yawn and turns into a humble sleepy caterpillar.

Eric the rock hyrax at DAKTARI

I finally got to meet Eric at DAKTARI (donate for their hyraxes here) and he was so cute. though unlike Caline he’s not even 1 year old and is also more of a wild animal so he might bite at any moment and people have to be a lot more careful around him.
