[edit] 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)
