Tree Hyrax are found in Kruger...read page 18 here: http://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rct=j& ... bs.1,d.d24
Also the strange business as to why Dassies are not found south of the Olifants much...except for a relict population on a hill south of Pretoriuskop!

Re: Dassie - Animal of the Month May 2015
That very outdated paper refers to what is now named Heterohyrax brucei Yellow-spotted Hyrax, Bush Hyrax And the Yellow-spooted Hyrax occurs in the Kruger Park in the extreme north, north of the Punda Maria and Pafuri roads and along the eastern border as far south as Malonga Spring.
But one has to be careful, as this one and the rock hyrax are almost indistinguishible in the field.
And where ranges overlap, they occur in mixed groups
