The high mountain slopes are prime pika habitat. Pikas are tiny members of the rabbit family that gather food and stack it in elaborate piles to prepare for winter.

The dislikes are from its neighbor.
anyone disliking a video like this is dead inside.
Yes forsure dislikes r from neighbours
I don't understand why videos like this has this dislikes lol maybe from vegetarians
This guy stole from a LOT of neighbors XD
😂110 of them at this point. Looks like he's ripped off his whole neighborhood
operator: hello this is 911 whats your emergency? pika: EEEEEEE
:,,,,D lmao I can't....
🤣
😂😂😂
The Pikas are so cute, I can't help but giggle when they run with plants in their mouths - it's so dramatic, I love it.
EEEE
Music is guiding you 😉
Another Pika prob stealing from her while she's stealing lmao
She's just replacing the pile LMAO
what if they both are stealing from each other
This is how they got the idea for the game RUST
Once a thief, her babies are prob gonna be thieves! Lol
We can only hope...
The fact they can plan ahead like that with the toxic plant is pretty amazing.
Evolution at it's finest
@@ericortega1745 Evolution is simple, but it produces some of the universe's most complex things.
"She's a wildflower connoisseur" "EEEEE~"
Anything it does will be cute, even if its stealing some poor schmucks life savings.
Speaking of life savings, did you know that bees create one spoonful of honey in their lifetime? Kinda like their life savings, but people steal it for frivolous reasons, like sweetening their teas and whatnot. 🤦🏻♂️
@@aynakoitzjose good thing they're just insects or I might feel bad lol.
Devon Offutt where do you draw the line at finally feeling bad for sentient beings?
Devon Offutt like if cats made honey, would you feel bad for them eventually?
Stop simping for the pika dude
This is Pikachu's normal type cousin and it's super effective against grass types.
It has sap sipper. No need to be cringe.
@Jessie Obien *You win Top Comment!* 🏆
It primarily gets bug types moves exclusively.
@@Bri-bl2nc just give it a special type that converts all its normal type attacks into bug types
HEHEHE
Little critters like these always do something SUPER fast and frantically, then they freeze up and just sort of stare, and then they just burst into the speed zone out of nowhere again.
If i recall correctly … i read in one scientific study that many small creatures have extremely fast reflexes and actually perceive speed/time/distance factors much faster than larger animals. Therefore, if they can mentally keep up with it-it must not be super fast to them 😮-idk. i know everything is relative to specific situations. It was something i noticed as well… and i had thoughts similar to your comment a while back.
Haha yup it’s the motion you mimic while playing with a cat trying to get it to pounce on your hand
herJapanese cousin Pikachu is more generous to other animals
🤣🤣🤣 True!
you know, this animal really could be a pokemon, and i desperately want to catch one as a pet
😂😂😂
this comment is so underrated.
Satoshi Tajiri maybe named pikatyu after pika
The real reason Team Rocket wants Pikachu; he master theif.
Those little buggers are thieves. Stole my food via the holes that they chewed through my drybag. But cute
Theyre not theives. Theyre just better at wilding than you...😁
Well, they could be food.
They distracted you with EEEEP!
@@munk_ken *insert cursed comment here lol *
@@munk_ken you could be food too :') just saying
This would make a good simulator, having to gather a quota of flowers, avoiding predators and stealing from another pikas. For some reason sounds very much like us.
sadly he got extinct because of us humans
Oh I would love that too!!
Like the warrior cats game on roblox
That reason is because we are animals . Monkes lol
That slow-motion footage at 1:21 and 2:34 is pure art
Yes babe
@@elchampujoncolorado4934 stop it creep.
A cross between a rabbit 🐰 and a mouse 🐭 🐁 soooo cute.
i say the same
I can imagine this as a sort of moral story where two pika steal from each others piles, never noticing the food that's gone missing. Their piles never grow, and they are both left without enough for winter. A tale of greed and sloth leading to their downfall or something of the sort. That said, these little guys are so cute and hardworking it's hard to imagine such an outcome 😂
- And this gave them the idea of PIKAchu...😍😍😍😍
3:43 lmaooo she looks so suspicious and guilty
god i hope some humans are protecting these pikas, i hate to think something bad happening to them.. theyre just too cute!!
This is beyond adorable lol. Naughty little thief stealing from the neighbor😁
Pikas has a special skill. They can throw their voices, which is fairly unique in the animal kingdom!
What do you mean by they can throw their voices?
Not only did it have to be so stinkin cute, but also it had to have the cutest little Eeeee squeak . Why are you the way you are Pika?
"Why spend mine when I can spend yours?" -Lil Kim.
Lived here all my life and I had no idea that these little creatures existed. I imagine this is where “Pikachu” came from?
Much better than the only other Pika video I have seen. More dynamic angles, better view of the haystack, better commentary, explained the poisonous plant breakdown.
I would not mind if Pika stole something from me. They're so cute 😅❤️
nice profile picture
"Hey neighbor, could I borrow some sugar..........................WAIIIIIT A MINUTE!"
She is so cute , so fast but lovely ! She look between a Guinie pig and a rabbit !!❤️🙏🏽🇨🇦
These guys are the other family of Langamorphs! Not cavi. So they are more related to rabbits than rodents lol. I see a running theme with stumpy tails, bigger than rodent's ears, and their noses are exactly the same as rabbit noses
Yeah, they Look like a pokemon
@@svenefouuuuu5352 Pika pika...Pikachu!
Looks more like a hamster/mouse
cousin : hamster aunty : chinchilla auncle : squirrel grandparents : wombat 😂😂
her energy and agility is second to none .....
the original pikachu
Awww cute little babys❤😊 and the stealing is adorable😂❤
"She is a wildflower connoisseur". Lol. Love that.
They actually would have enaugh if they dont steal from each and another. Its a vicious circle.
...not really
But you get more sexy time if your rivals starved. She's playing the long game.
what do you mean?
"Sometimes, its tempting to find a shortcut." Me being lazy: All the time.
I can't do 200 of anything a day other than breathe let alone go up and down a mountain. Wait. Do mouse clicks count?..
200 words per minute
What about 200 blinks in your eyes? We blink over 200 times a day naturally WITHOUT thinking about it. Easy! We grow our hairs from our body and head more than 200 times a day and we have more than 200 hairs a day. We talk or sign language over 200 times a day (per word) if active, healthy or aggressive, not old ages, lazy bum or relax and rest, or poor healthy. We move our eyeballs around when we look at randomly. Over 200 eyeball movements a day. We play a video game or computer (including clicking or pressing) or train over 200 times a day. In our brain, we can hold more than 200 times a day. But we don’t use them all or we forget. We can do a lot of 200 per day randomly.
@@willd3818 im pretty confident she does more mouseclicks than eye blinks lol
Fascinating little creature. Thanks for the narration - I thought it was "pie-ka." I guess there are different kinds of picas; there are collared picas in Alaska. I love it when they shout "eeep!" Um...that's all I have...bye!
Its actually pronounced PIE-ka. Everyone just started calling it “PEE-ka” because of Pikachu
@@tktru Also the narrator is of Japanese descent.
@@tktru The name originates from Asia, where it is called PEE-ka because of the "eeee" calls.
1:40 She's so industrious and instinctively wise! So that's how they keep the food from rotting away.
I don't think she understands what it's doing, she's doing it because her instinct forces her.
@@ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx Yeah, that's why I said instinctively wise.
"Stealing is legal when you are a Pikachu." based
They aren't even married and she's already taking half his stuff.
🤣🤣
oof, it do be like that tho- I mean that playstation way too cool to be left behind.... hm
I ship them. It seems pretty toxic though.
Food digger
😂😂😂😂
That is the most adorable stealing I have ever seen.
Pikas are literally so cute I can't handle it 🥺😭😭
I'm falling in love with her awwww
Little does she know that Geodude is about to tackle her thieving self
OMG it actually RUNS like Pikachu! It's so cute i'm gonna dieeeeeeee
Watching the pika chew ! Sorry I couldn’t resist ❤❤
Take her time to get an extra mouthful 🤣 funny creatures
I was going to die if it said so she can take her time picking the ones she likes 🤣
Is this a mere coincidence that the thief is female and the victim is male? I bet it's not. This is exactly what happens in most human sexual relationships.
@@sudhanshutiwari7376 this is literally a video about cute little animals...
@@sudhanshutiwari7376 Male pikas steal from female pikas as well in the wild. I could use that to try and spin some agenda about sexism, but they're just animals, so that would be stupid to do. Think before you type, and just enjoy the pikas
Smart 🤓🦉 and cute! 💕 An astounding display of intelligence to think that far in advance about the poisonous plants while storing edible plants for winter. Wily and sly robbing her neighbor's stored food supply, his haystack.😆
Cutest thief ever!
😱🤩😂🤣 Little rascal!
Of COURSE they feed on flowers, too. Checking off every box for being adorable.
imagine 3 of them, A B & C: A steal from B, B steal from C, C steal from A. By winter time they still don't have enough food xD
This became one of my fav animals :D so godamn cute !
Poor little guy :(
omg why is it soo cute its like a rabbit and hamster mashup that god made
An Earth Type Pichu🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂
Pikas are thieves. Years ago, hiked up to the top of Mount Lassen. We broke for lunch, and while talking to friends holding my sandwich. a Pika took a huge leap off a rock above, grabbed the sandwich out of my hand, but was unsuccessful in carrying it away as it fell to the ground. After such an heroic leap, I just left it for him. Thought it was funny and brave.
Me: "Pickachu use "Steal" Pickahu: "EEEE"
Pika pika pikachuuu, oh so cute animal😻😻😻💞
Give me 2 of them will take care of them as my babies.... 😍😍😍😍
Thanks Arlo!
1:19 lovely brave steps
Pikachu pulled a real Meowth move right there...
Pikachu is trying to learn steal
I saw this cute little mouse at Joffre lake last monday. It was making cute sound sitting on the rock! so adorable!! @@
Look at how cute she is!!!
The pikas are one of the rarest animals. They are almost going extinct. First The Macaw, We can't lose them!
This little fellow makes everything better and nicer. If you’re down, just watch these cuties 😊
it's a trick to get him to come around in the winter looking for a "care package".
"But officer, I'm only stealing to survive!" "That's what they all say"
The one true pika -chu. Haha !
Pikas have an electric personality
That crazy cute little industrious monster could rule the world!!!!!!!!
Pikas can also defeat dragons easily lol (congrats to pikachu for defeating the invincible charizard)
Pika=Cute!
So graceful
Made a school project on the pika bunny in 1981, for some reason, I wrote a children's book about them that I want to self-publish, came here to see them again and check out Canadian pronunciation. Phew. I like Pee-cka more than Pie-cka
Pikas are like a bunny-rat-squirrel-vole. But boy is she freakin cute.
I shall call her Vex, because she has obviously joined the thieves guild.
She is not stealing just collecting taxes😂
They are so cute ❤❤❤❤❤❤
*Thunderstorm approaches* "I am no longer baby I am power"
so cute!!! lives in such a beautiful part of canada as well
Well it already stole my heart
Beautiful horse, gorgeous man, great video, thanks 😊
I'm curious which one is the horse in this video? 😁
Yaman Kalyan - I don’t remember leaving this comment. It doesn’t look like a horse video so I don’t know why it on here, sorry 😂
@@colleenann772 The unexpectedness of your comment was very refreshing, thanks for a good laugh 😂
I love these little creatures so much 🐹🙂💕
it is very very cute and small
it's adorable.
So this is where pikachu came from
I hope these two pikas got together in the end 😂
So so cute ! Watching it again 😭😭😭😍😍🥲🥲🥲😍😍😍
Adorable
Sooooo cute! I LOVE Pikas!
May god bless these animals.
I can totally imagine them yelling at each other . Pika Pika pika Pika pika pika PIKAAAA!!!
Eeek. That's me who's stealing grass. Don't tell her, please.
She’s too cute and funny. ❤️❤️❤️
Appreciate the filming!
She’s cute!
The cutest little thing across the Rockies.. EEE EEEE
