Hardly imaginable-the small furry Dassie’s (Procavia capensis) are closely related to elephants and manatees. Their appearance is very similar to the groundhog we know. The hare-sized pets love sunbathing, especially on the South African Table Mountain and they are world champions in rock climbing on smooth rock. The animals urine supplies the miracle drug known as "Hyrazeum", which was used in early times to combat nerve disorders.
