Dassie or Rock Hyrax

They are very cute. As the name suggest they live on rocks. They are about the size of rabbits, communal creatures and mostly what I want to show you is: they have weird toes.
(I am sure that people who visit this blog know that I have a weird toe/finger thing. I have already shown you the toes of kangaroos for example).

See what I mean? Their toes look like little rubber balls at the end.

Here is an even closer look of the same photo. (it just depends how I crop the photo I have which has way more resolution that I can show you)

Weird, right?!

Wikipedia has a good picture of the underneath of their feet.
