This educational video introduces three small mammals—the rock hyrax, groundhog, and raccoon—explaining their habitats, diets, and unique physical adaptations. The rock hyrax, a rodent native to Africa, Australia, and rock caves, eats vegetables and climbs trees. The groundhog, also a rodent, hibernates through winter and digs complex underground burrows. The raccoon, a small mammal found in North America, has dexterous front paws with five fingers that allow it to open garbage cans and access food. All three animals demonstrate how mammals adapt to their environments through specialized features like digging claws, climbing abilities, and omnivorous diets.
