I’m guessing some species of hyrax.
Yeah I’m guessing Hirax. Cute tho!
Yeah, the snout makes me think hyrax as well.
They look like happy little Redwall characters!
Best series ever!
Although they’re adorable, I bet those guys hate humans…for all the right reasons.
*sigh*
I wish I could cuddle and tickle beautiful, exotic animals.
and they are exchanging nose boops!
Squeet hyraxes!!
it’s a hyrax!

Can you believe these little guys are related to elephants?
That fact always amazed me — first learned about it in the book BORN FREE, where one of the animals mentioned (besides the now-famous Elsa) is a Rock Hyrax. Adorable critters!
These guys could be on America’s Next Top Squee Model, because they know how to smize (smile with their eyes).
I’m not sure about hyraxes. They’ve got tapered muzzles and cat-like ears and look more like pine martens. Compare:

Could be Hyrax, but not certain. Hard to tell from this picture. These guys appear to have claws, which Hyrax do not. Fur seems too long as well.
Will look around for other options.
Looks like a Dassie, or Rock Hyrax, commonly found in the Cape Province of South Africa and found in their numbers around Table Mountain.
Hyraxes, mongooses, weasels lots and lots of posiblities, but there still really cute no matter what! Lets vote, who here thinks there hyraxes! I know I do!
Bearcat (It’s an actual animal)? Nah; looks more like a hyrax.
Pine marten.
