They are petite in size with longer hind limbs than their fore limbs, with their hind limbs being about 2.9 to 3.1 cm (1.1 to 1.2 in). They have five digits on each front foot and only four on each hind foot. The soles of their feet are covered with long fur, while still exposing their digital pads on the soles of their feet. They have curved claws. They range between 130 and 200 g (4.6 and 7.1 oz) in body mass and 17.8 to 19.8 cm (7.0 to 7.8 in) in length. For both male and females, the average weight is around 157 g (5.5 oz), with maximum growth rates increasing moving toward the northern parts of collared pika territories. They have constricted, flat skulls with no supraorbital processes, slender zygomatic arches, and 26 teeth. While some mammals have reduced clavicles for more range of motion, the collared pika has a well-developed clavicle supporting the scapula. They do not have a pubic symphysis, therefore it does not have a pubic arch within its pelvic girdle. In addition, an interesting characteristic about the male collared pika is that it has no scrotum and the location of its testes is not visibly apparent. This indicates no sexual dimorphism; consequently, one must examine the pseudocloaca for evidence of specific genitalia to distinguish the sex of the collared pika.
Collared pika colonies are mainly found in the mountain regions and they typically inhabit rock slides near areas of vegetation and fields of meadows. Some collared pikas have been found living in rock piles on the isolated nunataks of Denali National Park. Due to these talus sites, the species’ range distribution is broken into several condensed areas.
Collared pikas are defenseless against predators and can only hide within cracks or crevices in the mountainous areas where they live; the rocks of the terrain are their only shelter. One of the main predators of the collared pika found in south-central Alaska is the stoat, but martens, weasels, foxes, eagles, coyotes, and various birds also contribute to predation. Collared pikas have also been found to be the victims of parasitism by fleas and parasitic helminthes, including some species of Sarcocystis, which have been found in their striated muscles.
Collared pikas generally mate with their nearest neighbors and are believed to be facultatively monogamous, but they have also been predicted to participate in polygynandry and reproduce with multiple partners, because males often travel to territories of several females during the spring before mating season begins. The males receive the females around the end of spring. However, the pinnacle of the mating season arises in May and early June. Collared pikas, both male and female, are reproductively developed at one year of age. The female gives birth to two or three young each year in her nest within the talus. She typically produces one litter per year, but may produce two litters without successful weaning. Although both can reproduce at one year of age, the male’s reproductive success is reliant on acquiring habitat and drawing females. The female is the one that yields the most parental investment and is burdened by energetic constraints during gestation and lactation. Lack of sexual dimorphism makes perceiving how much the male invests in nurturing the young difficult.
