Talk:Dassie rat

Links to elephants
I was given to understand that these are the closest living relatives of elephants. The similarities are the direction of bending of the front knees, location of teats and teeth I think. Is this correct? ManInStone 11:42, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No. These are rodents.  You are thinking of hyraxes.  --Aranae 16:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
