Description
"American Pika Ochotona princeps wildlife on rock - also called the Rock Rabbit or Coney. The pika has become a threatened species and may become the first mammal in the lower 48 U.S. states to be assigned to the endangered species list. It is an herbivore closely related to rabbits and hares. Pikas inhabit talus fields that are fringed by suitable vegetation on alpine areas - typically in scree near or above the tree line.. They will also live in piles of broken rock and usually have their dens and nest sites below rock - but often sit on larger and more prominent rocks. Mt. Evans, Colorado, 2009."
