A classified list food plants discussed under the headings lowland habitat, drought conditions alpine habitat. Rock hyraces are shown to have very wide selectivity. Water requirements some unusual foods mentioned briefly. 3. Feeding behaviour be two types described as “group” “casual” feeding. pattern group feeding its diurnal occurrence discussed. Casual briefly considered. 4. Evolutionary changes in hyrax habits been direction decreasing selectivity material. relationship ungulate stock supported by number similarities between modern ungulates.
