Conclusion

 

  1. Bullet  Plateau pika changed behaviourally between summer and winter months


  1. Bullet  Hoarding food was not witnessed


  1. Bullet  It is possible that they consumed yak faeces in the winter


  1. Bullet  To further test this hypothesis can use DNA technique created


  1. Bullet  They consumed similar material (grass) in summer and winter


  1. Bullet To survive the winter the plateau pika must adapt behaviourally and    physiologically




  1. Bullet  Not much is known about changes in animals at extremely low temperatures so the plateau pika proves to be an excellent animal to study .....
