Pika Facts ► Photo by Greg Winston
Pikas are the smallest member of the rabbit family. Pikas are herbivorous; eating a variety of flowers, grasses, shrubs, and trees. They are highly territorial and will defend their territories from other pikas with high-pitched whistles and chases. Pikas have a variety of vocalizations including their well-known alarm call "eeep". Pikas live in mountainous regions typically near treeline. Pikas are extremely sensitive to high ambient temperatures and climate change. They are serving as vital early sentinels of climate-driven changes in alpine habitats. The Craighead Institute conducts research in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem to identify habitat at risk due to climate change and areas that act as refugia for these animals in the future.
