South African ??? (Please help identify)

Another from the South African Series.

Could do with some help identifying it.

Found in Hermanus, South Africa, living on the coastal rocks, was on the top edge before rocks down to the sea.

Thanks

Chris

They call them Dassies in ZA. Lots around that area of course and fun to watch a while. They will all come an sunbathe on the rocks and then, if they spot a potential predator flying overhead, scarper with incredible speed.

...and their closest relative is the elephant (just in case you ever get asked this in a trivia competition)

Looks like you id the photo already as a rock hyrax. Nice capture, the focus seems to be on the head and body is a little soft.
