The world s endangered species, the Ili pika, has reappeared after 8 years, why is it rarer than the

Speaking of the giant panda, everyone should be familiar with it, because it is unique to our country, enjoys the reputation of "national treasure", and it is also a first-class protected animal in our country, and its cute and cute appearance has been favored by many people. However, there is one animal, which is even rarer than the giant panda, that is, the Ili pika, which looks like a mouse and a rabbit in appearance, with big round ears and black eyes, which is very cute. The Ili pika is not only a species endemic to Xinjiang, China, but also an endangered species in the world.

The Ili pika mainly likes to live on the cold high-altitude bare rock peaks, and it can be seen from the footage that this cute Ili pika is foraging on the steep rock wall, and the food it eats is also the very endangered and cherished Tianshan Snow Lotus. You must know that the Tianshan Snow Lotus will only grow on the cliffs of the alpine generation or on the sand and gravel covered by ice and snow, and the growth is also very slow, and it takes about 5 or 7 years to bloom once. Such a precious Tianshan snow lotus is eaten by the Ili pika as a cook, which also makes it even more rare.

It is understood that the number of Ili pikas is very scarce, there are not 1,000 in the world, and most of them live in the alpine zone at an altitude of about 2800 4100 meters, usually like to run in the way of short jumps, although they do not hibernate, but they also have the habit of storing food. Normally, the Ili pika mainly feeds on alpine plants such as nasturtium, rhodiola rosea, and snow lotus. It is the very rare number that makes it even rarer than the giant panda.

In addition, the Ili pika also has many natural predators, such as foxes, golden eagles or stoats, etc., all like to catch it, which is one of the reasons why it is very rare. In addition, with the continuous expansion of human activities in recent years, the number of Ili pikas has decreased significantly, in the 80s of the last century there were about 3,000, but now there are less than 1,000.

That's because the living environment of this animal is even harsher than that of giant pandas.

He is an endemic species of Xinjiang, living in the alpine mountains of the Tianshan Mountains, and after a lapse of 8 years, it will be photographed by people with cameras, and there are currently less than 1,000 of them, so they will be more cherished than giant pandas.

The main reason is that he is about to become extinct, and it is not long left, if he does not continue to protect these animals, it is very likely that one day there will be nothing.

Because there are very few suitable environments for it, they like to inhabit the alpine zone between 2800 meters and 4100 meters above sea level, and the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang are the only habitat, in addition to this, the food they eat is also very precious, so it is very rare.

Pikas living in alpine environments are already clearly feeling the rise in temperature, and the decline in population is directly related to the rise in temperature. In addition, human activities such as grazing are also encroaching on the habitat environment of the Ili pika, cattle, sheep and livestock gnaw on alpine vegetation, and shepherd dogs will directly prey on the Ili pika.

The main reason is that this animal is very demanding in its living environment, so the number is small.

Speaking of China's national treasures, giant pandas are well-deserved, with their round bodies, which make them look very cute, and have always been loved by many people. The reason why the giant panda will become a national treasure in our country is that in addition to being an endemic species in our country, there is also a very rare number of it, but there is an animal, it is said that the number is even rarer than the giant panda, after eight years, people finally photographed it again, this cute and rare small animal, is the ili pika.

The Ili pika is an endemic species in Xinjiang, China, they look small, very cute, the length of the body is about 20 centimeters, with a pair of round and large ears. It looks a little like a rabbit and a little like a mouse, so it's no wonder people named it the Ili pika, and it lives up to its name. Normally, the majority of the Ili pika, which lives mainly in the bare rocks of the Tianshan Mountains at very high altitudes, is a mountain mammal.

In addition to the fact that Ili pikas are particularly rare in number, they have a lot to offer. For example, their mode of movement is generally to move by jumping short distances, and like some hibernating animals, they like to stock up on food, but they do not hibernate. It's just that when the cold season comes, they often don't go out to forage, so stock up on food for the winter.

The food of the Ili pika is also very special, and most of them are very valuable medicinal herbs, such as nasturtium, snow lotus or saxifrage, which also makes them even rarer.

As we all know, plants such as snow lotus or nasturtium often grow in the crevices of rocks at very high altitudes, so it is very difficult for the Ili pika to forage for food, which is one of the main reasons for their scarcity. Moreover, the Ili pika also has a lot of natural predators, after all, in the alpine areas, there are often many animals, and these other animals may pose a threat to the Ili pika.

The number is scarcer than our national treasure giant panda, and the Ili pika is included in the list of national key protected wild animals in China (grade), and it is a key protected animal in China. The Ili pika is a petite mountain mammal that looks like a rabbit but is smaller and rodent-like, with gray hair and a few grayish-yellow and brown blobs, which look very good, and they are petite enough to look cute.

Ili pikas mainly live in the Xinjiang region of China, although they are small, but they can adapt well to the life of the plateau, and can live at an altitude of more than 2,800 meters. In 1983, the Ili pika was discovered by Chinese scientists in the Tianshan Mountains and identified as a new species, but now the number and number of Ili pikas found are also slowly decreasing, and now there is an endangered situation, and the Ili pika is currently a key protected animal in China. Some time ago, the Ili pika was photographed again, this animal is very cute, and it also plays an important role in China's ecological environment.

Ili pikas inhabit the grasslands, mountains and hills of Xinjiang, and can inhabit the environment of 2800 meters to 4100 meters, where they live in a relatively poor environment, low vegetation and harsh climatic conditions, but their vitality is tenacious, which may also be related to their habit of choosing to live in groups and store food. Ili pika eats plants such as saxifrage, snow lotus, and nasturtium. It is worth mentioning that the Ili pika does not need to hibernate and is usually active during the day, and the usual method of activity is to jump short distances, which also looks very much like a rabbit.

Although the Ili pika has not been discovered for a long time, scientists now believe that the Ili pika is an ancient species, and the current Ili pika has a small number and is already endangered.

The Ili pika was photographed again, this is a rare and protected animal, the number is even smaller than that of pandas, and they should be protected.

This kind of creature that is both like a mouse and a rabbit is about to become extinct, but I didn't expect the Tianshan Ili to appear, which proves that China's ecological restoration and animal protection measures are in place.

As we all know, there are no surprises in nature, and humans often find some very strange creatures. There is a creature in nature that looks like a rat and a rabbit, and it is the Ili pika. The Ili pika originated in Xinjiang, China, and is endemic there.

It is very precious because there are fewer than 1,000 individuals in the world, and it is an endangered species in nature, and after 8 years, the Ili pika has once again appeared in the public eye. <>

I believe that netizens may not know much about the Ili rabbit, which mainly lives in the alpine mountains of Xinjiang, China. It was once again discovered by humans after 8 years that it was a volunteer volunteering in the Tianshan Mountains of Xinjiang, when he accidentally encountered the Ili rabbit and captured this rare species with a camera. The number of Ili pikas in the world does not exceed 1,000, which can be said to be rarer than the giant panda, a national treasure in China.

In the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the Ili pika is included. It can be seen that the Ili rabbit is extremely precious to the earth. <>

From the ** taken by this volunteer, it can be seen that the Ili rabbit is very cute and cute in appearance, with long ears like rabbits, and eyes, nose and mouth like rats. The body shape of the Erie pika looks more like a rabbit, but the head is also very similar to that of a mouse, and the hair is very colorful, with yellow, white, gray, and black. It's hard not to love this cute wild animal, and besides, he's not careful, and it's very rare to be captured by volunteers.

The reappearance of the Yili pika in human vision after 8 years also reflects to a certain extent that the current living conditions of the Ili pika are improving, and the population has also increased compared with the past. <>

The Ili pika is the largest of all rabbit species, and it has a characteristic that distinguishes it from other creatures, that is, the Ili pika has brown spots on its forehead. This kind of life only lives in high-altitude areas, and in the relevant investigation, it was found that the habitat of the Ili rabbit is only in the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, but it eats the medicinal plants on the Tianshan Mountains to survive.

The Ili pika is an endangered animal that is very cute, but also very fragile and needs a lot of protection.

This animal is very precious, after all, as an endangered animal in China, the local appearance also means that the local ecological environment has been effectively restored, and will have a more positive impact on the subsequent development of this animal, and has also made a significant impact on the protection of China's subsequent ecological environment.
