The pika, a rather adorable relative of the rabbit.

But the days of plenty won't be here for long.

These slopes are only free from snow for 10 weeks a year.

When winter comes, this pika will be trapped in its burrow.

To survive, it needs to stock up the larder.

But while home is up here, the food is all the way down there.

Every summer, pika must collect enough plants to see them through the tough times to come.

And anyone living high up on the slopes, like this female, has their work cut out for them.

She may make over 10,000 trips in just one season.

And the grand result of this frenetic activity is a haystack.

These stockpiles of food can weigh up to 28 kilograms.

That's more than 180 times a pika's own body weight.

Just down the slope, another pika is getting started on his haystack.

By taking food that's so much closer to home, our pika is saving precious time and energy.

It's so tempting, she may well become a repeat offender.
