In the heart of Valencia’s BIOPARC lies a remarkable secret, a connection between a mysterious mammal and the very name of Spain itself. The fascinating link between Hispania and a unique creature: The rock hyrax

Nestled within the lush confines of BIOPARC Valencia, a hidden treasure awaits visitors – the rock hyrax. This enigmatic creature, often overlooked in the animal kingdom, holds a unique place in the park’s diverse ecosystem. Here, amidst the rock formations and aviaries, the rock hyrax thrives in its rocky habitat.
