Rarer than a squirrel.

Are we perhaps in the Australia area ?

Sorry but I didn't notice your post when responding to Kai but no, not a rodent.

CLUE: A mammal.

Not Australia.

Chinese Ili Pika ?

That's the one.

Does it really exist.. a mixture of an easter bunny and a teddy bear :)

Would look good on a dinner plate :)

I wonder how it can be still alive, in China :hmmm:
:Kaleun_Wink:

Pika are small, mountain-dwelling mammal found in North America and Asia. There are 29 species in total, and while the North American and most of the Asia pika have healthy, stable populations, the Chinese Ili pika was thought extinct until photographed in 2014 by Weidong Li.

Only discovered in China’s Tianshan mountain range in 1983, Ila pika live on bare, sloping rocks at high elevations where they subsist on grass. Since discovery, their numbers have declined by over 70%, and stand at around 1,000 today. Their demise is due to increasing temperatures driven by climate change which forces them to retreat up to the mountain tops.

Thanks Jim :salute:

@Kai

Would you like to start a new puzzle?

IMPORTANT: Anyone not prepared to start a new puzzle if they answer correctly...please don't bother posting.
