In the early hours of the day, one can observe groups lying on the rocks in the sun getting their heat before they become active. The hotter it gets, the more crowded the rocks with fissures offering cooler places where the hyraxes can avoid getting hot. The rocky places have an impact on the nature of the hyraxes’ feeding behavior. The plains of grass, shrubs, and soft ground plants that grow around these rocks serve as good food sources, which, in turn, are often close to hiding spots. Thus, hyraxes could take in short amount of food once and spread the remaining time staying underground from the predators. The steep path is traversed due to the special pads on the feet that do not allow slipping on smooth stones. This exceptional adaption changes the vertical rock faces into safe routes rather than barriers.
