American Pika

An American pika rests in the forest along the North Fork of the Sauk River in Washington's Central Cascades. Pikas live at higher altitudes on rocky mountains. They do not hibernate in the winter, so they spend the summer collecting and drying grasses for food and bedding. It is related to the rabbit and is also known as the "whistling hare" due to its high-pitched alarm call.
