The Turuchan pika (Ochotona turuchanensis) is a species of pika found in isolated regions in the Central Siberian Plateau. It is a small (16–19 cm) rock dwelling species that is active during the day due to the low temperature at night. It was previously thought to be a subspecies of the northern pika. Little is known about this species, but is known to be locally abundant.[1]
Distribution
The Turuchan pika occurs from the southern reach of the Yenisei River to Lake Baikal to the middle region of the Lena River.[1]
