You act like you've never seen a hyrax on a tortoise before.

tortoise don't care

Hear that? It's the sound of a bunch of people rushing to turn this into a meme, which will result in a few half-hearted photoshops before fizzling out within the week, dashing their dreams of internet stardom forever.

Jesus, it's like a real-life Dragon Quest monster.

Does harnessing another animal for transportation count as tool use?

You guys can laugh all you want but what do you think is holding up the Earth? Yeah, that's right.

Whatever it is, it displays its nimble balance by scratching itself whilst riding that tortoise. Showoff.

I'm the last living person in the entire world to not have that fucking sea turtle mount.

The hyrax is like the Lorax except, being the HYrax, it didn't need to be Lifted as far.

nature is so much better when we capture and cage it

"You promised me, Turtle, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

I AM THE HYRAX YOUR HYRAX COULD SMELL LIKE

I'm on a tortoise.

Just watched the tortoise episode of Breaking Bad last night. This is much more pleasant. :O
