Say, "Hi!" to Rocky the rock rabbit!
Ochotona princeps (American pika).

Pika are so cool. And they like it cool. Sadly, climate change is causing them to climb ever higher up their mountains, & in some areas, the mountains are no longer high enough. Pika don't hibernate. They live in their little caves under talus & scree, munch on the haystacks they built over the summer, beneath tons of snow. And they make the cutest call, "Eeeep!"

@elaterite Little cutie 🥰

@elaterite @Artemis201 yes pika! I was just sharing photos with my remote boss today explaining that they’re cuter than marmots.

@elaterite Sad to hear that they suffer from climat change
But agree, the are adorable

@ambivalena Ya, they are cuties. And it is very sad. I went back to this location a couple of years later and found no sign of pika.
