This story about a pika reveals why pikas might not have tails (so predators can't use them to catch the Pikas). The story is told about a Pika who won't stop looking for a missing tail until he is nearly caught by a weasel, who misses because the spot he would have gotten was where the tail would have been. Detailed descriptions of Pikas and other animals in their habitat are included in the back.
