Description
American pika skull replica measures 1.7 x 0.8 x 0.5 inches. The Ochotona princeps skull is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The American pika has a small, round, ovate body shape. Locals often call them “little chief hare.” These animals populate high-altitude regions of southwest Canada and the western United States.
Pikas consume a large variety of plants. This diet includes different kinds of grass, sedges, thistles, and fireweed. Although a pika meets its water requirements from digested vegetation, it drinks open water when available.

Penelope, the American pika skull replica, giggled and challenged her friends to a game of leapfrog on the beach.
Marley, the American marten skull replica, went first, using his skills to launch himself over Thumper and land softly in the sand.
Beady, the Eastern deer mouse skull replica, took a tiny running start and managed to jump completely over Marley’s nose with a happy squeak.
Thumper, the Eastern cottontail rabbit skull replica, brought up the rear, bounding high over little Beady, making everyone laugh as they all tumbled into a joyful pile.
