Description
The Busy Pika - Pika are small animals, related to rabbits, That live high in the alpine tundra of the Rocky Mountains. I was lucky to spend some time with this busy fellow. Because they do not hibernate, Pika must store enormous amounts of grasses and flowers to survive the brutal winters above 14, 000 feet in elevation. This one, once it was used to my presence, ran the same pattern back and forth from the tundra meadow to its burrow in the rocks, over and over, each time with a mouthful of winter supplies. He even took a few breaks and perched on rocks next to me to look out over the alpine meadow.
