Muli pika
Species of mammal / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Muli pika (Ochotona muliensis) is a species of mammal in the family Ochotonidae. The species' natural habitat is the palearctic, specifically the Yunnan Plateau subtropical evergreen forest ecoregion of the Sichuan province in China. Localized to the region’s general altitude of 3600 meters, the Muli pika is rarely encountered.[2] The small population size and restricted habitat of the Muli pika likely threaten the species. The Muli pika is considered extant.[3]
This article needs to be updated. The reason given is: The Muli pika is now considered a subspecies of Glover's pika (source). (December 2023) |
