PIKA is SMALL
FURRY ANIMAL
Pikas Live Above Tree-Line
in Rockies and Other
Western Mountains
LOOKS LIKE RABBIT

High in the Rocky Mountains
lives a little fellow who really
makes hay while the sun shines.
He is a furry, four-footed animal
who believes in keeping plenty of
food on hand. So he spends many
of his daylight hours collecting
grass, leaves, stems, and roots, and
piling them in neat haystacks near
his home.
The name of this hard-working
creature is the Pika, and he looks
something like miniature rabbit.
If his ears were bit longer and
more pointed, and if he had tail
you could see, you might even
think he was baby rabbit.
Though he is a distant relative
of the rabbit family, the Pika nev-
er grows to be as large as his cous-
Smyrna times., 1951-03-08

hns. He stays under eight inches in
Iength, and he weighs no more
than 61a ounces. His short legs are
all about the same length, and the
Soles of his tiny white feet are
padded. Most of his fur is brown,
but it is a bit yellowish toward his
head and has a touch of black near
mis- back legs. On his short, round
ears there is a fringe of white.
According to the National Wild
life Federation, most Pikas live in
the Rockies and other western
mountains. They make their homes
at high attitudes, up where there
are no trees. For shelter, they find
spots where great slabs and chunks
of rock have broken off and tunb-
led into heaps. The Pikas use the
spaces between and under the
rocks for their burrows.
The best way to discover wheth-
er there are Pikas living in one of
these rocky patches is to look first
for the haystacks. If you see the
piles of food, wait quietly for the
Pikas to appear. Before you spot
them, you may hear their clear,
squeaking call. After bit, the
Pikas may come out of their bur-
rows and begin scurrying about
the rocks. They hardly make
sound with their soft feet as they
scamper easily over rough plpaces
where larger animals might slip
and fall.
Summer is the busiest time of
year for the Pikas. That is when
they harvest their food, and it is
also the season when they raise
their families. In each comfortable
grass-lined nest under the rocks,
there are usually three or four
baby Pikas being tended by their
parents.
In the fall, the Pikas hustle to
carry food from the haystacks into
their burrows. They may leave
some of the dried plant material
outdoors, but they want enough in
side to keep them from getting
hungry if snow should cover the
ground.
The Pikas never get lonesome in
their mountain hideaways, because
shey live in large communities.
There all goes well except when
some larger animal raids them.
The Pil1as have no way of fighting
back. so they protect themselves
by running and hiding. If one Pika
seems to be in trouble, another
may attract the attention of the
attacker until the first Pika can
get away.
Now and then Pika falls vic
tim to four-footed raider, but
most of the little creatures are left
TO thrive amoung their haystacks
and burrows. They neither help
NOR bother human beings, but keep
to themselves in their stony noun
lain homes.
Interesting information about
other species can be obtained by
writing to the National Wildlife
Federation, Washington 10, d. C

Inland Waterway
Completion of the Inland
Waterway to Key West is an alb
solute must project for our future
growth and welfare.
The present channel from Bahia
Honda on down is navigable for
small craft but it takes an expert
pilot and daylight hours to make
the trip.
Banks of the channel have
filled in with mud, markers are
down, and the twists and turns
are so sharp that an average size
cruiser must sometimes maneuver
backwards and forwards to make
| a turn.
AS was so ably pointed out in
recent editorial of The Citizen,
the Inland Waterway is necessary
for civilian defense as we'll as fol
pleasure craft. It's a mystery why
he federal government has not
made an appropriation for COM
oletion of the project. Our local
Navy installations, as we'll as our
merchants, use bargeS to bring
in supplies. If we could figure out
Who to contact, we might bring
some pressure to bear on this
point.
