Hi there! I’m Deirdre Denali Rosenberg. And I am happy you’re here. Since I was a real little kid, I could be found wandering the woods and high peaks of the Rocky Mountains. I found such comfort and freedom in these wild spaces, befriending trees and wildlife alike. From the time I can remember, my favorite little creature has been the American pika, a wondrous friend that dwells in alpine habitats. Also, yes – Pikachu from Pokémon is based on these adorable animals!
Their habitats are incredibly extreme, both terrain-wise and conditions-wise. And wow, are pikas evolved to thrive in these frigid extremes. So I would like to share a little American pika love today. They are cute, they are wonderful and they are hardcore mountaineers!
