The Ili Pikas
The Ili Pika is a species of pika that is often described as a mix between a teddy bear and an Ewok. They are nicknamed "The Magic Bunny". Ili Pikas are a species of pika native to northwest China and this animal was first observed in 1983 by conservationist Li Weidong. Li educates people all around the world about this cute little animal. Currently its population is declining and considered to be endangered. There are less than 1,000 Ili pikas left. Included in this book is a story about Lickerty Split and Hoppity Joy, who are about to start their Ili Pika family high up in the snow covered mountain ranges of China in January, 1999, the Chinese Year of the Rabbit .
Pikas
It’s not easy to be a little pika on a big mountain! These miniature mammals spend summer days building bathtub-sized haypiles to feed them through the snowy winter. Through maps, close-up photos, low-level text, and bright features highlighting adaptations, this title brings beginning readers eye-to-eye with pikas and their mountain biome.
Lagomorphs
The definitive guide to all lagomorphs—pikas, rabbits, and hares. Numbering 92 species worldwide, members of the order Lagomorpha are familiar to people throughout the world, and yet their remarkable diversity and ecological importance are often underappreciated. In this book, Andrew T. Smith and his colleagues bring together the world’s lagomorph experts to produce the most comprehensive reference on the order ever published, featuring detailed species accounts, stunning color photos, and up-to-date range maps. Contributors highlight the key ecological roles that lagomorphs play and explain in depth how scientists around the globe are working to save vulnerable populations. Thematic int...
A Pika's Tail
A story about a Pika named Beejer who envies the tails of the other animals on the mountain until one day he realizes the value of not having a tail.
Revision of the American Pikas
Discusses distribution, habitat, habits, pelage, molt, specimens, history, and nomenclature of pikas. Provides descriptions, locations, and a key for species and subspecies.
Rabbits, Hares and Pikas
This Action Plan provides an overview of the state of knowledge about all species of lagomorphs, provides a contemporary framework about their importance to humans and the world’s ecosystems, reviews their status on a worldwide scale, and makes recommendations for conservation action to prevent the extinction of any lagomorph species and to allow their populations to recover to safe and production levels.
Pika
The pika survives where life is rocky. A male pika scurries across a stone pile high in the mountains. He nips leafy twigs off bushes and piles them in the shelter of a rocky den. This hamster-size cousin of the rabbit builds a hay pile as big as a bathtub. In the winter, he feeds on his hay pile, tunnels through the snow for lichens, and pops out for low-growing plants. The story of how the pika avoids predators, survives the cold, and sings for a mate will enthrall young readers. Tannis Bill's simple text makes the true story of the pika accessible to all. Jim Jacobson's stunning photographs capture the pika in the act of living naturally.
It's Nice to Be a Pika
An animal that very few people have seen in the wild has taken center stage in climate change studies because their mountain habitats are shrinking.
Pika Country
Gorgeous photographs, and clear text introduce readers to the effects of climate change on the pika and on other life-forms in the high mountains.
