Only a Handful Remain. Meet the Cutest Animal Most People Will Never See

The Ili Pika has been called the cutest animal on Earth—but most people have never even heard of it. Hidden high in the remote Tian Shan Mountains of northwest China, this tiny rabbit-like mammal has been seen alive fewer than 30 times since its discovery in the 1980s. With fewer than 1,000 believed to remain in the wild, the Ili pika is one of the rarest and most mysterious animals on the planet.
