Now here’s an interesting fact: all the animals on this poster are related. The Elephants and Sirens are closest, followed by the Hyraxes. The name Paenungulata translated means “almost having hooves“because they were once thought to be closely related to the hoofed animals. Which they are not.

But they belong to the bigger group of Afrotheria (all of African origin), another collection of fantastic and unique animals!
