Going through old photos and found some Pikas. Taken with a Canon SX60! Not to bad for a point and shoot! They are in the rabbit family and some do look a somewhat like little bunnies!

Small mammals related to the rabbit family, even though they look more like a hamster or a guinea pig.
Oval bodies that are only around 6 – 7 inches long and weigh just over six ounces.
Short tail that is not externally visible on most individuals.
Sharp curved claws and padded toes allow them to scamper around alpine rocks.
Excellent hearing and vision to warn them of danger in their surroundings.
Active year around--they do not hibernate.
They dart through rocky areas and tunnels under snow.
Vocal animals that use both calls and songs to communicate and protect their territories.

Nice shots of a difficult subject as they are usually quite active in my experience. 👍
A high-pitched "eek" warns other pikas of predators.
Breeding season is in late May or early June while snow is still on the ground.
Males sing to female mates.
Gestation period is 30 days and litters of two to six hairless, blind infants are born.
Females may have two litters a year and raise their young alone.
After one month, the babies leave their mothers to establish their own dens, even though they don’t fully mature for another few months.
