Description


Le Daman du Cap (Procavia capensis) aussi appelé Daman des rochers est une espèce de mammifère de l'ordre des Hyracoidea. Superficiellement, il ressemble à une marmotte ou un gros cochon d'Inde avec ses oreilles et sa queue courte. Il est appelé dassie en Afrique du Sud et pimbi en swahili. De la taille d'un lièvre, il possède une paire de longues incisives (sortes de défenses) et des molaires qui ressemblent à celles des rhinocéros. Il possède quatre doigts aux pattes antérieures (plantigrade), et trois aux pattes postérieures (semi-digitigrade). Ils ont de grandes soles plantaires avec des coussinets qui sont gardés humides par des sécrétions un peu analogues à de la sueur. Les mâles sont légèrement plus grands que les femelles. The Cape Daman (Procavia capensis) also called Rock Daman is a species of mammal of the order Hyracoidea. On the surface, it looks like a groundhog or a big guinea pig with its ears and short tail.

It has four toes on the front legs (plantigrade) and three on the hind legs (semi-digitigrade). They have large plantar soles with pads that are kept moist by sweat-like secretions.
