Pikas, often called "real-life Pikachus," are small mammals closely related to rabbits. Inhabiting high-altitude regions, they rely on their dense fur to survive freezing temperatures. Unlike hibernating animals,pikas stay active year-round, diligently gathering and drying plants during summer to ensure they haveenough food for the winter. However, their survival is now threatened by rising temperatures, as their thickcoats make them highly sensitive to heat. Additionally, human activities, such as poisoning campaigns incertain regions, further endanger their populations. Although pikas are not yet globally endangered, therapid disappearance of local groups serves as a warning that we must protect these delicate mountainecosystems before it’s too late.
