Tony LePrieur photographed these American Pikas recently at Rock Glacier trail near the Highwood Pass in Kananaskis Country.
See more of Tony’s Photos on his Flickr page here.
If you have good photos of Calgary-area mammals, send them to our email address and we may post them on an upcoming Friday.
wow…okay, I am uninformed…but had no idea re these critters….
are they in the Calgary environs too?
they look cute and harmless enough, but those teeth look pretty sharp
They are in the mountains, in rocky areas with lots of loose rocks, crevasses, and plants growing nearby. They are harmless. The location cited is probably the closest to Calgary, about an hour’s drive away.
Never get enough Pikas
