Despite their appearance, the members of this small order are more closely related to the elephants and rhinoceros. Hyraxes are comparable in size and external appearances to rodents and rabbits. They live in a variety of habitats. Some are found living in trees and others live in colonies with, at times up to 50 members. They feed on vegetation, insects and grubs.

The skull of a hyrax has 38 teeth. They have a single pair of upper incisors that grow continuously. These incisors are long and curved. The pre-molars resemble the molars and are arranged in a continuous series with the molars. The skull and dentition resembles that of a miniature rhinoceros skull.
