Pika, the so-called a living fossil seems to preserve its morphological characteristics of those days of Eocene epoch in the Tertiary period. Namely, their lacking of ear radiator and strong long hind legs are thought to be evolutionally undeveloped. Therefore, the objective of the present report is to estimate the capability of pika, in heat loss and heat gain mechanisms in hot and cold environment. Mean rectal temperature was 39.6℃ and mean respiratory rate was 131c/min, with no statistical significance in sexual difference. At 25℃ of ambient temperature, O_2-consumption (Vo_2) was 19.8ml/min・kg and respiratory rate was 120-130c/min. At 15℃, Vo_2 was 32.0ml/min・kg and respiratory rate was decreased to 86-92c/min. At 29℃ of high ambient temperature, Vo_2 showed increased value of 27.9ml/min・kg, with 200-230c/min of respiratory rate. From these results, physiological evidences of thermal adaptation relation to evolutional changes of thermoregulatory mechanism of pika were discussed in this paper., 熱帯医学 Tropical medicine 27(4). p289-294, 1985},
