Have You Seen a Pika?

The pika is a small mammal, and while they might look like rodents, they are actually in the same family as rabbits. They can be found in mountain areas of high-elevation, and the species where I live(Ochotona princeps) make their home in rocky habitats.

For anyone also in Alberta, Canada, they are easily found at different hikes along highway 40 in Kananaskis Country. Just look for areas of rockfalls.

These little herbivores eat a variety of green plants, and can actually absorb enough water from that vegetation to not need to drink. They are also non-competitive with other animal species, so peacefully share their area with other animals, such as chipmunks and marmots.

If you want a nice photo of one, go sit quietly amongst the rocks and wait. Though you may have scared them into hiding when you arrived, they will emerge soon so long as you keep your movements very slow.

While sitting there, you may hear them let out an adorable little “peek” scream. This scream is to alert to danger, and also is a territory defense call directed at other pika.

Due to their sensitivity to temperatures, Pika are an indicator species for climate change. They rely on cool temperatures, so if days become warmer on average, these little critters move further up the mountains to escape the heat.

Tonight, I participated in the Indigenous Games, an event that is part of Team Lethbridge's portion of the 2022 @southernalbertasummergames. This lovely lady, who is Mary Ellen Little Mustache from Piikani First Nation, was so kind to take time out of her busy life to provide education on traditional Indigenous games for the Southern Alberta Summer Games. I was so very grateful to learn more about Indigenous/First Nations culture and traditions from her. @lethbridgesport #visitlethbridge #summergames #summervibes #sports #indigenous #indigenousculture #firstnations #piikani #culture #traditional #traditions #games #education #learning #lethbridge #lethbridgelife #albertacanada #outdoorslife #outdooradventures #greatoutdoors #lessonlearned #lifelesson #gratitudeattitude (at Lethbridge, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf-xEViuPY2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
