Can we take a second to appreciate the camera work? How much effort must go into finding a single MOUSE in the MOUNTAINS, and then stalking it to set up hidden cameras along its regular routes. Just wow.
It’s not a single mouse. That’s the magic of editing. They film a ton of footage of god knows how many animals over a long period and then they select the best clips and paste them together to create a narrative. To be clear, I am not saying it’s not an amazing camera work because it certainly is. Just that they didn’t stalk just one critter.
Their camera work always astounds me, but in this case I actually don't think it was as difficult as some of the others, the visibility in those mountains with the high quality lenses they have they can see from extremely far away.
Awwww, this is so charming. The cheeky music, the narrative of the lazy neighbor, the writing, Attenborough's voice--everything is perfect. What a delight.
@@anthonya04 Because they are. Taxonomy is a pseudo-science based on how things look. The difference between rodents and lagomorphs is a FRACTION the genetic, and morphological, difference within cetaceans, and they are all still cetaceans. This is true of most families, orders, suborders. There is more variance within tigris, by FAR, than there is difference between lagomorphs and rodents. This is true even within rodentia. Peg teeth and a slightly changed gut does not make a whole new mirorder.
@@JanBanJoovi-ol1qv You're right, but I mean no one is obliged to post that stuff on social media. Unfortunately, tourism ruins everything. And it's not just tourism-I've noticed that anything that becomes accessible to people who don't deserve it (didn't search for it, didn't learn about it, etc.) ends up being ruined. It's the case even in sports, jobs, and other areas.
Once, high on the Cascade Trail in Grand Teton National Park, my friend and I met a pika biologist on a rockfall full of nests. We learned that there are about 60-ish pika specialists worldwide, but this small academic community examines them as indicators of changing climate (they lose foraging time as temperatures increase). We were awed when the biologist let out a shrill, complex response to a distant pika call, then self-consciously explained that he knew a few dozen vocalizations. It was years ago, but my friend and I still can't believe we met a guy who was fluent in pika language!

@@gingerhoof2157 I looked it up just to be sure but no hares ARE lagomorphs, just like rabbits. They might have some differences but they still both belong in that catagory. Maybe you were thinking about a lower classification?
The pristine rocks and lush low lying greens, bright small flowers with a backdrop of majestic snow covered mountain peaks.... What a sight. Divine. Look at that small burrow, carpeted with grass and flowers... So cozy.
@@nathancomixproductions466 debatable.... I used to be trail crew in Colorado mountain, the forest ranger literally had an safety tip on avoiding lighting on mountain above tree level literally, tip does say lighting can attract to angry or anxiety person so as soon you see hair float up and you feel the statistic in the air, just neutral your feeling and lay down elsewhere! don't piss off pika 😅
Pika's locomotion is sheer beauty. At a glance, unsteady & uncomfortable substrates are full of obstacles for an animal racing against time, but he takes no notice of it. A leap over a gap is of some elegance for a small creature with proportionately short limbs! Also, a nice camera work, capturing a treasure trove. As if it was a scene in Indiana Jones!
So adorable! That little thief reminded my husband and myself of our dwarf Russian hamsters. One would make a lovely nest behind the wheel and the other would nick off with it and put it in a coconut. Also, one would gather a stash of treats and the choice food out of the food dish and again, the other would come and nick it and stash it. Then the roles would change, and the first hamster would come and thieve it back. The world's cutest Benny Hill routine would also ensue, as when a treat was put in for each hamster. The first treat taken by the first hamster was obviously the best, so there would be much chasing and creaking and squeaking which broadly translated as, 'sod off this is my stash!' The Pica squeaks and eeks sounded so like our hamsters, only they also did little creaks of displeasure when they got mugged. And even more adorable was that you could hear the hamsters when they were asleep and snoring. Often we had three of the little fluff balls in a nice big cage on multi levels. The third hamster would emerge from their bedding, yawn, even preen a little, then saunter over and find two servings of food left over. That savvy hamster would then nibble and then stuff its pouches to its heart's content while chaos ruled around it.
Perfect! Attenborough is a national treasure, and the commentary and video are superb. My favourite: specialises in stealing his neighbours' haystacks 😅
Defaulting to stealing is an interesting evolutionary adaptation. I mean, picking up the grass from your neighbor doesn't look a lot easier than picking it up from the field.
@@marley7659 - Perhaps. Maybe I don't know the plants well enough, but the mountainside looked full of random greens. I guess, as an outsider, I can't tell which ones are delicious/edible, lol.
I've seen mountain lions, bears, moose, bighorn sheep, and rattlesnakes on my backpacking trips in the mountains but pikas are by far the coolest animal I've seen. You have to get up into some serious high altitude to see them (maybe 8000 or 9000 feet high) and you usually hear them before you see them.
The ready steady bit was so funny. I absolutely love David Attenborough´s voice, sure the filming and amazing production is all part of it but lets be honest here, if it were anyone else narrating these then they just would not be so amazing
those are some really peaceful, yet harsh, but lovely places, with clean fresh air, and nature's colors and smells. Siberia, mongolia etc , lovely places indeed.

Despite their appearance, pikas are not rodents. They belong to the order Lagomorpha, together with rabbits and hares.
They did look a bit like bunnies the way they ran. I thought bunnies were rodents though.
