Rock Hyrax ROCKS on a tree

BIG Rock Hyrax fight over a tree space in Ein Gedi. Ein Gedi is an oasis in Israel, located west of the Dead Sea, close to Masada and the caves of Qumran.

It is known for its caves, springs, and its rich diversity of flora and fauna. Ein Gedi is mentioned several times in biblical writings, for example, in the Song of Songs; "My beloved is unto me as a cluster of henna flowers in the vineyards of Ein Gedi" (1:14). In the Old Testament, David hides from Saul in the caves here; "And David went up from thence, and dwelt in the strongholds of Ein Gedi" (1 Samuel 23:29).

@kyouta4444 Greatest animal on Earth, bar none.

They appear to be fighting each other, but if they were allies, I would not mistake the hyrax noise at :20 to be "RAPE DRIVE, ENGAGE!". Synonyms for "hyrax": "rape machine", "murder factory".
