Meanings
nounSardinian pika (plural Sardinian pikas)
plural Sardinian pikas
- An extinct species of pika, Prolagus sardus, endemic to Sardinia, Corsica, and the neighboring Mediterranean islands.
The Sardinian pika – the last of the larger Mediterranean species of Prolagus – was almost wiped out through competition and predation from invasive species introduced by the Romans, only holding on in isolated communities until becoming extinct perhaps within the last 200 years.
