Pica

Species: Pika (Ochotona Minor) | Location: Mt. Evans, Colorado, USA

Pica pauses for his portrait on a rock.  The pika is a small-sized mammal that is found across the Northern Hemisphere. Despite their rodent-like appearance, pikas are actually closely related to rabbits and hares. Pikas are most commonly identified by their small, rounded body and lack of tail.
