How can the Bible say that the hyrax and the rabbit chew the cud when science now knows that they do not?

Leviticus 11:5-6  especially.

Context:  
Lev. 11:4 “‘There are some that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, but you must not eat them. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you. 5 The hyrax, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you. 6 The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

Leviticus 11:1 - 47

ESV - ¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them. ² Speak to the people of Israel, saying, These are the living things that you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
