    The high mountain slopes are prime pika habitat. Pikas are tiny members of the rabbit family that gather food and stack it in elaborate piles to prepare for winter.

      If i recall correctly … i read in one scientific study that many small creatures have extremely fast reflexes and actually perceive speed/time/distance factors much faster than larger animals. Therefore, if they can mentally keep up with it-it must not be super fast to them 😮-idk.

    I can imagine this as a sort of moral story where two pika steal from each others piles, never noticing the food that's gone missing. Their piles never grow, and they are both left without enough for winter. A tale of greed and sloth leading to their downfall or something of the sort.
    That said, these little guys are so cute and hardworking it's hard to imagine such an outcome 😂

      We grow our hairs from our body and head more than 200 times a day and we have more than 200 hairs a day.
      We talk or sign language over 200 times a day (per word) if active, healthy or aggressive, not old ages, lazy bum or relax and rest, or poor healthy.
      We move our eyeballs around when we look at randomly. Over 200 eyeball movements a day.
      We play a video game or computer (including clicking or pressing) or train over 200 times a day.
      In our brain, we can hold more than 200 times a day. But we don’t use them all or we forget.
      We can do a lot of 200 per day randomly.

    Pikas are thieves. Years ago, hiked up to the top of Mount Lassen. We broke for lunch, and while talking to friends holding my sandwich. a Pika took a huge leap off a rock above, grabbed the sandwich out of my hand, but was unsuccessful in carrying it away as it fell to the ground. After such an heroic leap, I just left it for him. Thought it was funny and brave.
