Counter point, have you considered the hyrax?
"Rock hyraxes, also called rock dassies or rock rabbits, are small, stub-tailed, rabbit-like animals native to Africa. Though rock hyraxes resemble rodents, their closest living relatives are actually elephants and manatees." :3

Ive curated my Reddit experience so it’s mostly cats, rabbits, rats, dassies, and the occasional drama of strangers on AIO and I’m loving it.
