Say 'Hay' to the Talus Talkers - Colorado's Chatty Pika Colony!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Cancalosi, we get a glimpse into the lively world of Colorado's pika population. These adorable critters, known as pikas or conies, are not your average bunnies! With their unique habitat preference for talus slopes and rock slides near timberline and high mountains, they've truly found their niche. Living in close-knit colonies, these sociable pikas have quite the gift of gab. Just like a bustling town square, each pika has its own territory within the colony - talk about personal space! But come autumn, it seems that boundaries blur as they engage in spirited conversations with fellow furry friends. Related to rabbits but with distinct personalities of their own, these vocalizing creatures have perfected the art of communication. Whether it's sharing juicy gossip about nearby grasses and herbs or simply catching up on daily pika news, they never miss an opportunity to express themselves. And let's not forget their impressive food storage skills! Beneath massive boulders lie small piles of "hay" carefully stashed away for future munching sessions. It's like having a secret pantry hidden in plain sight! So next time you find yourself exploring Colorado's breathtaking landscapes, keep an ear out for these charismatic talus talkers. Their lively banter is sure to bring a smile to your face and remind you that even nature has its own
