Ochotona princeps (American pika) live at extreme altitudes--they like it cold! But sadly, climate change is driving them further up their mountains & in many areas the mountains aren't high enough. Because pika don't hibernate they spend their summers building massive "haystacks" under the rocks & boulders of talus & scree slopes. Pika are closely related to rabbits & are sometimes referred to as "rock rabbits".
