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!"

A color photo of a small furry mouse like animal with round Mickey Mouse ears and very long whiskers. The pika is looking out from a small cave like opening under a pile of angular rocks.

@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. 😢
