A pika (pronounced py-kuh or pee-kuh) is a small, mountain-dwelling mammal that is the closest living relative of rabbits and hares. While they are often nicknamed "rock rabbits" or "mouse hares," they belong to the same taxonomic order as rabbits (Lagomorpha) but are part of their own unique family, Ochotonidae. 🐹 Physical AppearanceThough they are related to rabbits, pikas actually look more like round, oversized hamsters or guinea pigs: Size: They are about 6 to 8 inches long (the size of a baked potato) and weigh only 4 to 6 ounces.Features: They have short limbs, very round bodies, and no external tail.Ears: Unlike the long ears of a rabbit, a pika's ears are short and rounded. Pikas are considered an indicator species for climate change because they are incredibly sensitive to heat. They have thick, plush fur designed to trap warmth, which means they cannot tolerate temperatures above the mid-70s Fahrenheit (around 24°C). As global temperatures rise, pika populations are forced to move higher up mountainsides to stay cool, leaving them with less habitat.(Fun fact: The Pokémon character Pikachu is named after the pika, though the character's design was actually inspired by a squirrel!)
