Damn, that’s cute. Especially the exciting “winter storage” montage. You’ve gotta have a montage.

I’ve suddenly developed an obsession with pikas (pikae?).

SQUEEP!

This reminds me of a funny PIka story I should have shared with yall a long time ago… My ex bf and I were hiking up a mountain trail one late summer day and we came across a pika den by the side of the trail. We couldn’t see the little buggers, but we could hear them, sho’ nuff. We stopped to listen to them SQUEEP for a while, and then one of them started up his little machine-gun warning call. The noises were so rapid that it sounded like the P on the end of each SQUEEP was getting stuck in his little throat. Gradually he slowed down, so this is what we heard:

“SQUEE-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E–E–E–E…E…E…E… …E… …E…EEP…”

My bf and I looked at each other and I said, “awh, his battery ran out.”

Every once in a while I’ll make a really high-pitched “squeep” noise in his presence and he’ll laugh so hard that he’ll cry. XD

Fans of David Attenborough, do watch the Bower Birds episode if you haven’t already seen it. It is truly fascinating!

Awww, the squeak-barks! And not the teeniest bit shy about their vocalizing. This truly made me COL (chuckle out loud). What are these little things anyways, bunnies or rodents?

While we’re talking about Attenborough works of genius, don’t forget Life in the Undergrowth! I netflixed it after someone recommended it in the comments here, and it is GENIUS. It’s all extreme closeups of bugs and stuff. Which doesn’t sound that cute? But it is! (I now own the DVD.)

Oh, and David was director of BBC Channel 2 when Monty Python was picked up as a series. They believe it would never have been allowed if it weren’t for David.

Sir David Attenborough (yes, his brother is Sir Richard) is a legend of British television, and he makes handsdown the BEST animal docs! The pika scene is from an amazing high-budget series called the Life of Mammals:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/animals/mammals/
It followed the Life of Birds, Blue Planet, Life of Plants (trust me, it’s incredible)and recently Planet Earth. When you see a REALLY good nature show on Discovery, it usually, because they just bought it from the BBC.

Am I the only one hoping it was going to turn into some really funny Monty Python skit with a huge Pika that appears out of nowhere and eats the narrator?

I think I’ve been deprived… I’m not exactly familiar with Sir David… but upon this introduction, am I the only one who thinks it would totally rock to meet him in a coffee shop, all curled up in my favorite sweater (me not him), while I listen to him tell me about pikas, or whatever because it doesn’t matter, he’s just great to listen to!
