Big Relatives
Tiny tree hyraxes—furry
animals that look like guinea
pigs and live in African for
ests—have some enormous
relatives: elephants. The fam
ily resemblance shows up
mostly in the feet. Both ani
mals have short, stubby toes
and flat toenails that are al
most like hooves. National
Geographic World magazine
says. The hyrax's loud voice,
however, can sound human—
likeascrcam.
Store onions in a cool
and dry place. High
humidity may start root
growth and decay.
