This American pika isn't picking flowers for decoration. It's building a haystack.
All summer long, pikas gather grasses, wildflowers and other plants, carrying mouthful after mouthful back to its home. They spread the plants out to dry in the sun, then stash them away for the long alpine winter.

A nocturnal tree-dweller, the common spotted cuscus uses its prehensile tail like a fifth limb to climb through the forest canopy. Females are typically more heavily spotted than males
The USA is the worst place in the world to be homeless. We are number one. Dead first in cruelty to our brothers and sisters, folks. https://t.co/b4162OpZys
