A pika is basically a furry rock potato that makes squeaky noises. It has oversized ears and looks like it might be auditioning for a role in a cartoon. This little critter hangs out in the mountains, hoarding snacks like it's preparing for winter Armageddon, even though it’s not a true hibernator. Picture a tiny bunny that forgot to grow into its legs and decided to live among boulders instead of in a cozy burrow. It's like nature’s version of a cozy, chubby ninja that pops in and out of hiding spots.
