2. We finally got to see Pika in North Cascades last September.

3. For whatever reason, I thought it would be louder.

Saw pikas in the Deosai range. Was too far away to hear their call.

Neat!

10. They are a symbol of climate change

“For years the polar bear has been the symbol of the climate change movement. But today the American pika has good grounds to compete with the polar bear for this unwanted honor. American pikas are suffering because climate change has brought higher temperatures to their western mountain homes. Pikas have already disappeared from more than one-third of their previously known habitat in Oregon and Nevada. Despite their dire situation, the American pika is not federally listed under in the Endangered Species Act. Without protection and help, American pikas could be the first species to go extinct due to climate change.”
