You Want a Pika Me?
No, this has nothing to do with Lincoln. But people, we must band together and save the pika! Pikas are little critters that live in rocky areas high in the mountains out west. I first met pikas when my dad and I went hiking in the Uintas Mountains in Utah for the first time several years ago. I didn’t know what they were, so I dubbed them rock hamsters (no relation). Frankly, I think my name is far better than pika, a name which makes it seem like they eat chalk.
Anyway, for whatever reason—I blame altitude sickness—I immediately fell in love with pikas. For Pete’s sake stop wasting so dang much energy so we can halt global warming and help the poor little guys. Save the rock hamsters!
