Pika (Ochotona princeps)
The industries pika (Ochotona princeps) stockpiles up to 50 pounds of grass each summer to sustain itself through the winter. This member of the rabbit family has short round ears to help reduce the loss of vital heat in the frigid alpine air. Due to climate change, their species is at risk.
