addendum: i did not see anyone eating hyrax cubs in this video. F- WOULD NOT BUY FROM AGAIN

I'd like to note here for the record that I own some hyrax poop. Or, at least an 8% dilution of hyrax poop in pure ethanol.

It's used in perfumery as a fixative. Fixatives make other scents last longer on the skin. Many fixatives of either animal or plant derivation contain a fecal note. It's, uh, well, the fecal note in very tiny amounts is a key part of what makes a scent sexually attractive. As odd as that sounds, it turns out that we're that far removed from peeing in the corner to mark territory, as far as parts of our brain are concerned.

Obtaining most animal fixatives, like musk, civet, castoreum, etc. involve the death of the animal or are cruel.

But, hell, hyraxes love crapping.

Thus, hyrax poop is a highly desired product.

And now this one knows that fleshy pink hands are where food comes from. Great.

I get it, they're like the little yippy dogs of the Paenungulates. Vocal and bad-tempered and more likely to bite than their larger kin.

its voice is hoarse from drinking all that goddamn piss
