Pika Info


Due to their small size (approximately 18 cm), Pikas look like mice but they actually belong to the Rabbit Family. They have small rounded ears and their tail is very short. An adult Pika weighs about 140 grams.







They live in cold climates and often at higher altitude. Pikas can be found on rocky slopes on mountains where they can find shelter from the weather as well as predators.




Pika in Action

Pikas are extremely fast. They jump and fly, and sometimes, when nobody watches, they even kiss and dance ...







Today, the Pika's are in a playful mood and like to chase each other, jumping from one rock to another. But it all happens in a split second.

Pika Ninja


Pikas are not afraid to show their Ninja training and acrobatic maneuvers.

These little rabbits are quite flexible when it comes to scratching the back of their ears.





Baby Pika

Pika on the Snow

Pika's in the Mountains

Pikas, just like Arctic Ground Squirrels, are extremely fast and elusive. In an instant, they appear and vanish under the rocks, out of sight from predators and photographers. These Pika pictures were taken in late summer and fall when they are most active.











Pikas don't hibernate during the winter: they rely on their food cache. Up on the mountainsides, summers are short, so Pikas are busy gathering food before the first snowfall.
