Hyrax Guide

Hyrax Guide
Hey! You’ve come to the right place. My name is Darren, and I’ve spent years photographing and filming hyraxes in Kenya. I’ve probably stared at more hyrax butts than any sensible adult should.

The following contains everything you ever wanted to know about hyraxes, plus quite a few things you probably didn’t. Squiggy's Hyrax Hut documents wild hyraxes living on and around my house in Kenya.  I've collected my original photographs, video and firsthand observations alongside published zoological research of these bizarre little critters.
