Encyclopedic overview
The Ili pika or magic rabbit (Ochotona iliensis) is a species of mammal in the family Ochotonidae, endemic to northwest China. After its discovery in 1983, it was studied for a decade.
Increased temperatures and increased grazing pressure may have caused the rapid decline in population, along with air pollution.
