This hamster-size cousin of the rabbit is storing up food. He will build a “hay pile” as big as a bathtub. As summer changes to autumn and winter settles in, the pika feeds from his hay pile and tunnets through the snow. In the spring, he sings for a mate. Soon, pika pups are climbing on the rocks.
Stunning photographs catch the pike in the act of living naturally. A fact-filled text tells the story of how one of the world’s cutest animals can survive when life is pretty rocky.
