Some animals are essentially born into internet fame.
Others, like the hyrax, quietly exist under the radar despite being objectively hilarious.
If you’ve never heard of a hyrax, you’re not alone—they look like oversized guinea pigs, live in rocky places, and, fun fact, are somehow related to elephants.
But the internet has recently decided it’s their time to shine.
This gallery rounds up some of the funniest memes and posts about these surprisingly expressive little creatures.
Whether it’s their oddly dignified loaf shape or just the fact that their name sounds like a type of Pokémon, the hyrax is meme material waiting to happen.
So if you’re in the mood for something a little different—something small, furry, and weirdly majestic—this collection of funny hyrax memes is for you.
