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.

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.

Little Pika has a vaste kingdom where it stores food under rocks. But sometimes, Pika encounters a neighbour that may be tempted to steal the precious cache, so it is safer to mark its territory by dropping some poop at strategic locations. When dried, the droppings look just like small round seeds.

It's been another busy day in the life of a Pika. Tomorrow is just around the corner.

Pikas remain active even during the winter. They rely on the food that they had diligently gathered in the summer months. These Pikas are spotted as they venture on the snow.
