Pika: The Rock Rabbit - PHOTONews Canada
Every autumn, if I want to brighten my day, I drive to the mountains west of my home in Calgary to watch American pikas prepare for winter, and this year was no exception. Everyone who sees a pika (pronounced PIKE-ah or PEEK-ah) for the first time invariably exclaims, “Aww, it’s so cute.” The diminutive pika is a cuddly furball about the size of a baked potato.
