When grazing the Rock hyrax holds the head at an angle, grass is bunched with the tongue, bitten off and chewed with the molars. When grazing at the fringe of the kopje the animals are apprehensive; nape and dorsal hairs are bristled, the pattern of lighter hairs surrounding the dorsal gland becomes visible. In the dry season the animals eat leaves, flowers and succulent plants; incisors and fore-feet help.
