The relatively large body dimensions of the remains, which are attributed to Procavia capensis (the rock hyrax) indicate that the climate was relatively cool and humid, more so than the region where the nearest extant neighbours survive, the subspecies Procavia capensis syriaca, which is a smaller animal living in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticleQ4
