The rock hyrax has been shown to have a very unusual
and complex digestive tract. The gastrointestinal tract is comparable to
that of the simple and complex stomach of mammals as well as to that of

Gastrointestinal osmolality electrolyte and organic acid composition in five species of East African herbivorous mammals.
(1980-10)
Inherent differences observed in ionic
composition of gastrointestinal contents due to
diet, feeding regimen and (or) site along the
