Trivia: Which of these mammals would you NOT find in the Grand Canyon?
Javelina
Mule deer
Hog-nosed skunk
American pika
The correct answer is American pika
So why is this answer correct? : Javelinas, mule deer, and hog-nosed skunks are among the 91 mammal species that call the Grand Canyon home. However, American pikas are tiny rodent-like animals that live in the alpine terrain above the tree line of the Rocky Mountains. Pikas are a type of small rabbit, measuring about seven to eight inches long, with big round ears.
