Pika Collection

The pika is a small alpine mammal built for survival in extreme terrain.

Through summer it harvests and stores vegetation, stacking it into neat haypiles to last the winter. Small, round, and chirpy, it might look harmless—but its cuteness does not slow it down. Every move is precise, every task executed with foresight and relentless focus.

Perched among rocks at high elevation, it keeps constant watch. Sharp, rapid calls warn of predators—a simple, effective alarm system. Life in these mountains demands awareness, careful resource management, and quiet cooperation.

When winter locks the landscape in ice, the pika draws from what it prepared months before. Every action is measured and timely. Nothing is wasted. Small, focused, and relentless, it survives by knowing what it needs and acting at exactly the right moment.
