What an interesting account! I even found myself admiring the nematodes. Maybe at times we subconsciously think of a creature like the pika who is so small and cute as being fragile. And they do have their vulnerabilities. Yet they are tough survivors as well! Thank you.

Behaviors too are inherited. Always enjoyed giving this episode an evolutionary/cognitive slant when it came up in the Church calendar. Mathew and Luke both record this story.

Fascinating, David! (As always.) Thanks for the peek at the internal ecosystems of pikas and what it tells us about their evolution and their lives.
I think you mean peaka not peek!
Hah! Good one. :)
Always good to have a friend with a similar dorky sense of humor.
How would we survive without a dorky sense of humor? And that reminds me that I still miss Gary Larson....
I’d like to be a Pika. Imagine being that cute. They seem like happy little creatures. Cute and happy, what could be better?
