Found only in the rocky slopes of China's Tianshan Mountains, this shy creature is barely ever seen.

Interesting Fact: There are fewer than 1,000 left in the wild, making it even rarer than pandas!

Maybe a specific type of Pika that's in China? I saw them quite frequently above treeline when in Colorado.

Edit: it is indeed a different species of pika. Still just as cute!

There are also Pika in North America.
