Table Mountain has some awesome Plants and animals.
The animal that I was most interested in was the Dassie/Hyrax.
It is called Dassie in South Africa. They are all over the Place at Table Mountain.

It is a decedent of the elephant. They are very comfortable around people but are similar to squirrels in the term of don’t feed them or try to pet them (Watch the video of one of them scaring a Baboon). they seem to be pretty friendly around people can bite. They are quite a bit larger then a squirrel. (Up to 20inches long and up to 8lbs). Their skin is really tough so many hunters try to hunt them to make rugs. This and urban expansion are disturbing their populations. They eat grass and leaf plants but sometimes chose insects. They spend 95% of their time basting in the sun or sleeping. They also have thermo regulation where they can regulate their temperature.
