Pika

Source

  • Rounded ears
  • No tail
  • Short limbs
  • Lives at high elevations, commonly above or around treeline
  • Makes chirping noises.
  • Protected species

Eastern cottontail

Source

  • Large hind feet
  • Long ears
  • Powerful rear legs
  • White underpatch underneath of the body
  • Lives in meadows and forests
  • Common game animal

The animal in the other question has long ears, a visible tail, a white under patch and is in an area inhabited by humans, clearly making it a rabbit.
