Procavia capensis, more commonly known as the coney, hyrax, or rock rabbit, is commonly identified as the שפן (shafan) in the Bible.
Perhaps most famously, the shafan is listed in Leviticus 11 as an animal forbidden for Israelites to eat.
I had seen one to maybe three of Procavia capensis at a time on occasion, but a few hours after שמיני (shəmini), the complete portion of which contains Leviticus 11, was begun to be read, I saw around twenty of the species of different sizes and colors.
Though stocky, these animals are agile and fast as can be seen in this video.
And though subjectively cute, they may harbor sandflies with the Leishmania parasite, so keeping distance is advised.
More Biblical references to the shafan:
Psalm 104:18, "The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies."
Proverbs 30:26, "The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks"
