Cute Pika Steals Food From Neighbours | 4K UHD | Mammals | BBC Earth

Some adorable pikas wait all winter for the sun to shine, so they can gather food and build their nests. But other cheeky pikas wait for their neighbors to do the hard work while sit back and wait for the perfect time to strike.

Woah. They build a haystack, dry it in the sun for winter, and include preserving herbs. Thata pretty next level for a rodent.

And natural selection said for some of them to spend their energy running from their neighbors rather than gathering themselves. Probably a product of times when resources were less abundant.

Pika's locomotion is sheer beauty. At a glance, unsteady & uncomfortable substrates are full of obstacles for an animal racing against time, but he takes no notice of it. A leap over a gap is of some elegance for a small creature with proportionately short limbs! Also, a nice camera work, capturing a treasure trove. As if it was a scene in Indiana Jones!
