Grand Teton National Park
Pika (Ochotona princeps)
The industries pika (Ochotona princeps) stockpiles up to 50 pounds of grass each summer to sustain itself through the winter. This member of the rabbit family has short round ears to help reduce the loss of vital heat in the frigid alpine air. Due to climate change, their species is at risk.

The Pika card is awesome. What a great shot.
Grand Teton National Park card, beautiful. I've never been there, hopefully someday.
My aunt and uncle just took several weeks and toured many of the National Parks, and they sent me postcards from all of them them visited. They said they were all beautiful of course :D
Very cool. What a great time they must have had. And really nice of them to send you the postcards!
