Dude! That Hyrax took on a baboon!! And emerged with its face intact! I credit its strange, digery doo like vocalizations for this incredible feet.

The axolotl is totally punk rock.

personally, the musk ox is one of my favorite "alternative" animals. Also, due to the nature of those that make use of youtube, so many of the clips are violent in nature. I found a simple "aren't musk ox cool" video, as opposed to "watch the musk ox kill the bear" "watch the bear kill the musk ox"...

I hope others do the same....

(of course... nothing will be better than rock hyrax vs. baboon anyway.)

And it had a cool musk-oxen-are-cool soundtrack, too. :D

Musk oxen are cool animals, definitely worthy of CAP.

No slaughter porn, please. (It's not in the killing; it's in the commentary and dramaturgy.)

Hey, a hyrax has to do what a hyrax has to do. Those baboons were crowding his rocks.


Irony-many predatory animals don't always know what to do when an animals is
aggressive towards them. It confuses them. Of course sometimes the aggressive
animal just gets eated

To be fair, the clip ends before we get to know the outcome. Once the baboon gets over his befuddlement...

And do hope for the hyrax' sake s/he doesn't try this with a leopard.

And while I'm at it, I present the Kakapo

Hyraxes are third-rate Oreo cookies, anyway.

They would be third-rate oreos, considering they're first-rate hyraxes.

Dude, don't be hatin' just cuz it came out the winning end of a baboon on non-baboon fight.

I bestow unto you the title of Valiant Hyrax Defender. :D
