Ah. The noble rock hyrax! The one above lives at the national zoo. Those buck teeth are actually tusks!
If ever you find yourself in the house of mamals, go visit the rock hyrax. They usually live in large social groups, and the one at the zoo lives alone. You'll find her around the corner from the chinchilla.
