Noun
/lɑrdʒ tuːtɪð ˈhaɪræks/
The term "large-toothed hyrax" refers to a species of hyrax, which are small, herbivorous mammals belonging to the order Hyracoidea. The large-toothed hyrax specifically is known for its prominent incisors, which resemble those of rodents. Hyraxes are social animals typically found in Africa and the Middle East, and they often inhabit rocky areas.
In English, "large-toothed hyrax" is a specific zoological term used primarily in scientific contexts, particularly in discussions about mammalogy or wildlife documentation. Because of this specificity, it is more commonly found in written contexts, such as academic papers or wildlife documentaries, rather than in everyday oral speech.
The large-toothed hyrax is often spotted in rocky habitats across Africa.
Большозубый гиппотам не редко наблюдается в скалистых местах обитания по всей Африке.
Researchers studied the large-toothed hyrax to understand its social behaviors in the wild.
Исследователи изучали большозубого гиппопотама, чтобы понять его социальное поведение в дикой природе.
In the nature documentary, the large-toothed hyrax was portrayed as a key species in its ecosystem.
В документальном фильме о природе большозубый гиппопотам был представлен как ключевой вид в своей экосистеме.
The term "hyrax" does not have widely recognized idiomatic expressions associated with it due to its specificity as a zoological term. Therefore, expressions including the word might be rare. However, we can employ the concept of "small but significant" when referring to the hyrax’s ecological role.
Just like the large-toothed hyrax, even the smallest creatures can have a big impact on their environment.
Как и большозубый гиппопотам, даже самые маленькие существа могут оказать серьезное влияние на свою среду обитания.
Much like the social nature of the large-toothed hyrax, teamwork is essential for success in any group project.

The prefix "large-toothed" describes the prominent dentition of the species. The hyrax is considered one of the closest living relatives to elephants and manatees, even though they appear quite different.
