The Real-Life Pikachu: My 26 Pictures Of The American Pika (New Pics)
If you need a little cuteness to brighten your day, you've come to the right place!
I am a wildlife photographer and have dedicated much of my career to studying the American Pika! This little critter is a relative of rabbits and hares. They call alpine ecosystems home (typically) and are usually heard before they're ever seen.
American Pikas are really interesting, as they do not hibernate, but are active all year long in their very extreme high-elevation homes. They can be found in the Rocky Mountains and throughout the American West in mountainous regions. Have you ever experienced the joy of a pika welcome committee as they squeak "hello" to you?
If you love pikas and want to learn more about them, be sure to check out my book, The American Pika: Notes From the Field. Also, don't forget to visit my previous article on Bored Panda, by clicking here.

I love this adorable little critter. I was fortunate to see one and hear their adorable little warning "squeaks" when visiting a close friend in Alaska.
