I love Pikas– I think they are just amazing little creatures–and you captured one in all its natural beauty–the wonder of mother nature yes?!

Pika are lagomorphs, while hyrax are of the order hyracoidea. I had not heard of the hyrax–interesting critter. One source says they may be distantly related to elephants!

So glad that we have Beth to observe and share her experiences and acute observations with the world. Gloria Holmes, Goodyear AZ
