Syrian Rock Hyrax

Colchester Zoo being the fake rock centre of the world, it's nice to see they finally have something that lives on rocks. Syrian Fake Rock Hyrax might do well too, if they could get some.
 
The Ironic thing about all the fake rock is that there is no naturally occurring rock in the county of Essex. We are basically sand/clay marl like deposits that have been pushed around over millennia and piled up along what is now the Thames edge.before the last ice age, the Blackwater estuary that is avast estuary named after a tiny river was the mouth of the great River Thames it's self.

Colchester's rocks do look a bit of a pantomime back drop at times too sadly
