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.
@bolderbekah @Artemis201 Indeed they are! They are the cutest, fun to watch them scurry around collecting food for their haystacks.

@elaterite @oldoldcojote they're basically Pikachu to my non-Pokemon-watching mind. Their call sounds like they're saying that!
