The IUCN has listed this species as being of "least concern".[1] TaxonomyThe Himalayan pika was first described by Feng in 1973. Before that it was thought to by synonymous with Royle's pika (Ochotona roylei) and it is found wholly within the range of that species. However, molecular studies by Yu et al. (2000) confirmed that it was a separate species. There are no recognised subspecies.[2] Distribution and habitatThe Himalayan pika is native to the northern side of the Himalayas in the Tibet Autonomous Region in the Mount Everest area[2] at altitudes of {{convert|2400|to|4200|m}}.[1] There have been claims that it is present in Nepal on the southern side of the mountain range but this has not been authenticated. The typical habitat of this species is rocky places, screes, walls and cliffs in the vicinity of coniferous forests.[1] BehaviourThe Himalayan pika is a small mammal about {{convert|17|cm|1|abbr=on}} long and very similar in appearance to Royle's pika. It is particularly active early in the morning and again at nightfall and feeds on various types of plant material. It produces litters of three or four young.[1] StatusThe Himalayan pika lives in remote mountainous areas where it has little association with man. No particular threats have been identified and the International Union for Conservation of Nature list it as being of "least concern". The IUCN advocates that more research should be undertaken on its ecology and population status.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{IUCN2014.2|assessor=Smith, A.T.|assessor2=Johnston, C.H.|last-assessor-amp=yes|year=2008|id=41262|title=Ochotona himalayana|downloaded=19 September 2014}} {{Lagomorpha|O.}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q311612}}{{DEFAULTSORT:pika, Himalayan}}2. ^1 2 {{MSW3 Lagomorpha | id =13500032 | page = 188}} 5 : Pikas|Fauna of Eastern Himalaya|Fauna of Tibet|Mammals described in 1973|Taxonomy articles created by Polbot |
