The Rock Hyrax, Also Called Dassie, Cape Hyrax, Rock Rabbit, And (in The King James Bible) Coney, Is

The rock hyrax, also called dassie, Cape hyrax, rock rabbit, and (in the King James Bible) coney, is a medium-sized terrestrial mammal native to Africa and the Middle East. Commonly referred to in South Africa as the dassie it is one of the five living species of the order Hyracoidea.

Rock hyraxes build dwelling holes in any type of rock with suitable cavities, such as sedimentary rocks and soil. In Mount Kenya, rock hyraxes live in colonies comprising an adult male, several adult females, and immatures. They are active during the day, and sometimes during moonlit nights. The dominant male defends and watches over the group. The male also marks his territory.

Der Klippschliefer, auch  Kapschliefer, Felsenkaninchen und (in der King-James-Bibel) Coney genannt, ist ein mittelgroßes Landsäugetier, das in Afrika und dem Nahen Osten beheimatet ist. In Südafrika allgemein als Klippschnauze bezeichnet, ist sie eine der fünf lebenden Arten der Ordnung Hyracoidea.

Klippschliefer bauen Wohnhöhlen in jeder Gesteinsart mit geeigneten Hohlräumen, wie Sedimentgestein und Erde. Im Mount Kenia leben Klippschliefer in Kolonien, die aus einem erwachsenen Männchen, mehreren erwachsenen Weibchen und Jungtieren bestehen. Sie sind tagsüber und manchmal auch in mondhellen Nächten aktiv. Das dominante Männchen verteidigt und wacht über die Gruppe. Auch das Männchen markiert sein Revier.

The ancient Namib Desert is home to some of the tallest and most spectacular dunes of the world, ranging in color from pink to vivid orange. These dunes continue right to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The cold ocean waters brush against the dunes of the Namib desert is one of the most surreal sights. While the sea coast extends for hundreds of miles, one of the best places to see these dunes is at Swakopmund. Known as Swakop in Namibia, it is the country's biggest coastal town and a mecca for Namibians on holiday. The city's German origins are quite pronounced in beautiful old German colonial buildings throughout the city, making an even starker contrast for this town sitting at the edge of the Namib Desert.

--------------

Die Namib-Wüste beherbergt einige der höchsten und spektakulärsten Dünen der Welt, deren Farbe von Pink bis zu leuchtendem Orange reicht. Diese Dünen setzen sich bis zum Rand des Atlantischen Ozeans fort. Das kalte Meerwasser, das gegen die Dünen der Namib-Wüste streift, ist einer der surrealsten Anblicke. Während sich die Meeresküste über Hunderte von Kilometern erstreckt, ist Swakopmund einer der besten Orte, um diese Dünen zu sehen. In Namibia als Swakop bekannt, ist es die größte Küstenstadt des Landes und ein Mekka für Namibier im Urlaub. Die deutschen Ursprünge der Stadt sind in den schönen alten deutschen Kolonialgebäuden in der ganzen Stadt ziemlich ausgeprägt, was einen noch stärkeren Kontrast zu dieser Stadt am Rande der Namib-Wüste bildet.

The Marula tree, as the source of several fascinating legends, has become a sacred and intricate part of ancient African culture. Locals have revered these trees for centuries and refer to them fondly by various names.

Because elephants travel for miles to feast on the wild fruit, locals call it ‘The Elephant Tree’. African folklore also refers to it as ‘The Marriage Tree’. Apart from making a beautifully natural wedding canopy, it’s also said to have aphrodisiac properties and features in tribal fertility rites. The ripening of the Marula fruit in summer coincides with great celebrations in many parts of Southern Africa. In Swaziland, for example, the annual Marula Festival is celebrated at the king’s royal residence, sustaining the belief that the Marula fruit is fit for kings and queens.

————————-

Der Marula-Baum als Quelle faszinierender Legenden ist zu einem heiligen und komplizierten Teil der afrikanischen Kultur geworden. Die Einheimischen verehren diese Bäume seit Jahrhunderten und benennen sie liebevoll mit unterschiedlichen Namen.

Da Elefanten kilometerweit laufen, um sich an den Wildfrüchten zu erfreuen, nennen die Einheimischen ihn “The Elephant Tree”. In der afrikanischen Folklore wird er auch als “The Marriage Tree” bezeichnet. Abgesehen davon, dass er einen wunderschönen natürlichen Hochzeitsbaldachin abgibt, werden ihm auch aphrodisierende Eigenschaften nachgesagt. Die Reifung der Marula-Frucht im Sommer fällt mit großen Feierlichkeiten in vielen Teilen des südlichen Afrikas zusammen. In Swasiland zum Beispiel wird das jährliche Marula-Fest in der königlichen Residenz des Königs gefeiert, um den Glauben zu stärken, dass die Marula-Frucht den Königen und Königinnen vorbehalten ist.

Shingwedzi lies in the northern part of the Kruger National Park in the heart of mopane country. A scenic game drive along the Shingwedzi River in a south-easterly direction towards the Kanniedood Dam is one of the most rewarding drives in the Park. Waterbuck, nyala, kudu and elephant are often seen here and the bird life is prolific. Staying overnight at Shingwedzi is an experience that will last a lifetime.  It is a rustic camp that still carries the essence of the bush and is untouched by modern technology.

------------------------

Shingwedzi liegt im nördlichen Teil des Krüger-Nationalparks im Herzen des Mopane-Busches. Eine landschaftlich reizvolle Pirschfahrt entlang des Shingwedzi-Flusses in südöstlicher Richtung zum Kanniedood-Staudamm ist eine der lohnendsten Fahrten im Park. Wasserböcke, Nyala, Kudus und Elefanten werden hier oft gesehen und die Vogelwelt ist reich. Eine Übernachtung in Shingwedzi ist ein Erlebnis, das ein Leben lang anhält. Es handelt sich um ein rustikales Camp, das noch immer die Essenz des Busches hat und von moderner Technologie fast unberührt ist.

Woermann House was completed in 1905. The tower was named “Damara Tower” from where observers used to look for ships in the ocean and ox wagons in the desert. In April 1909 the Damara and Namaqua Trading Company sold all its shares to the company C. Woermann and to their shareholders and was renamed to “Woermann Brock & Co. which is the present day name.

On the 18th of June 1924 Woermann Brock Co. sold the Woermann House to the Administrator of South West Africa and on the 10th of December the building was declared a historic monument.

————————————-

Das Woermann-Haus wurde 1905 fertiggestellt. Der Turm wurde „Damara-Turm“ genannt, von wo aus Beobachter im Meer nach Schiffen und in der Wüste nach Ochsenwagen Ausschau hielten. Im April 1909 verkaufte die Damara und Namaqua Trading Company alle ihre Anteile an die Firma C. Woermann und deren Aktionäre und wurde in „Woermann Brock & Co.“ umbenannt, was auch heute noch der Name ist. Am 18. Juni 1924 verkaufte die Woermann Brock Co. das Woermann-Haus an den Administrator von Südwestafrika und am 10. Dezember wurde das Gebäude unter Denkmalschutz gestellt.
