Lli pika (Ochotona iliensis)

Lli pikas are sometimes nicknamed as the 'magic rabbit'. They are a cuddly looking mammal. They are about 8 inches long. They were first found and documented in China in 1983. They were found again in 2014. They have gone from around 2,900 in 1983 to around 1,000 in 2014. The lli pika species has dropped 71% in about 30 years. They are believed to be endangered because of global warming. They live in a cold flat raised area called a plateau. They eat herbs and other plants. They are more endangered than the panda. 









                                                                    How can we help?
We help lli pikas by helping to stop global warming. The most important thing to do is recycle, reuse and reduce. Use less hot water. Turn off the water when you are brushing your teeth or flossing. Turn off the light when ever you leave a room. Don't leave your light on in the middle of the day if you can see enough just using sunlight. Drive the least you can. If you have to go like two blocks don't drive, if you can just walk or take public transportation.
