“Oh, that’s a cute one, evolution! What is that?”“It’s a hyrax! It pees in holes.”“Huh.”“Guess what it’s most closely related to.”“I don’t know, what?”“No, guess.”“I mean… rodents, right?

I like messing with you, mostly.”Image Source: Bjørn Christian Tørrissen / Wikimedia Commons / licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 -- source link
