The Japanese pika (specifically the subspecies Ochotona hyperborea yesoensis) is a tiny, rabbit-like mammal famous for its round ears, plush fur, and "teddy bear" face. Found exclusively on the rocky mountain slopes of Hokkaido, these 15–20 cm long "Ice Age survivors" are as resilient as they are cute, spending their summers gathering and drying wildflowers into "haypiles" to survive the brutal winter without hibernating.
