外見
The Bush Hyrax is a small, stout mammal with dense, greyish-brown fur that is lighter on its belly. It has small, rounded ears and a very short, almost invisible tail.

特殊能力
能力
Sticky Feet Power
Bush Hyrax can climb smooth, steep rocks easily because of special rubbery pads on its feet that create suction, helping them grip.
能力
Sun-Powered Warmth
Bush Hyrax can sunbathe and huddle together to manage body temperature because they don't regulate it well internally, which helps them stay warm or cool.
能力
Ever-Growing Chompers
Bush Hyrax has sharp incisor teeth that grow continuously because they are used for stripping tough plant material, which helps them access food.
