A Hungry Pika

Description

Pikas, tiny animals in the rabbit family, do not hibernate in winter. Instead, they collect piles of grass, leaves, and plants into feasts called “haypiles”. These haypiles are stuffed under rocks and into holes. Once an area is covered in snow, the pika will create tunnels under the snow between the haypiles, which they gobble up all winter long! This pika was filmed in Mount Rainier National Park busy collecting food and pausing for a snack along the way. Filmed 9/19/24.
