Muli pika explained

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.^[1] The small population size and restricted habitat of the Muli pika likely threaten the species. The Muli pika is considered extant.^[2]

The Muli pika is one of the six pika species endemic to central China, with no true population studies.
