These tiny alpine speed demons can disappear between the rocks in about half a second. One second theyâre right there⊠ZOOM⊠gone. Then somehow theyâre 20 feet away staring at you like a statue.
Pikas live high in the mountains, donât hibernate, and spend the warmer months basically speed-running winter prep by collecting plants and building little âhay pilesâ to eat when the snow comes.
Tiny. Fast. Loud. Ridiculously cute.
The hardest land animal to photograph in Colorado, hands down.
