Awwwwww !!! the Pika (near extinction)


Tiny American pika seen headed toward extinction

The small rabbit-like mammals live in rock-strewn slopes but are gradually being pushed to higher elevations and are running out of places to live, archeologist Donald Grayson reports in the current issue of the Journal of Biogeography.
