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.

The Pikas are so cute, I can't help but giggle when they run with plants in their mouths - it's so dramatic, I love it.

The fact they can plan ahead like that with the toxic plant is pretty amazing.

Little critters like these always do something SUPER fast and frantically, then they freeze up and just sort of stare, and then they just burst into the speed zone out of nowhere again.

Those little buggers are thieves. Stole my food via the holes that they chewed through my drybag. But cute

This is Pikachu's normal type cousin and it's super effective against grass types.

This would make a good simulator, having to gather a quota of flowers, avoiding predators and stealing from another pikas.
For some reason sounds very much like us.

A cross between a rabbit 🐰 and a mouse 🐭 🐁 soooo cute.

[hammysan]

Not only did it have to be so stinkin cute, but also it had to have the cutest little Eeeee squeak . Why are you the way you are Pika?

[Harkness]

Much better than the only other Pika video I have seen. More dynamic angles, better view of the haystack, better commentary, explained the poisonous plant breakdown.

The real reason Team Rocket wants Pikachu; he master theif.
