After viewing a small herd of Hartmann's Mountain Zebra, Equus zebra hartmannae, in the arid woodland-mountainous area of Huab late in the afternoon on August 13, 2012, we spent another hour or so birding in the area. Brad photographed this Cape Rock Hyrax (Dassie), Procavia capensis, as it sat watching us from high atop a rocky area. A medium sized terrestrial mammal, it is closely related to the elephant. A sentry, such as this individual, will take up a position to watch for predators, sound an alarm, and then hide among the rock crevasses. Temperatures were in the upper 80's on this clear evening.
