[46FootballKid]

i will always love pikas

[Pikapikachu071]

I can see how it's inspiration, it's so cute! :3

[TheBraindeaddude]

They aren't rodents; they're related to rabbits and hares.

[elmonstredelmi]

I want one!!! *_*

[GorsuGra]

actually they arent rodents, they are members of the rabbit family

[animalgirlonly]

here so cute im doing a project on them

[RobAlpharex]

At an undisclosed location a scientist is creating a pika that shoots lightning.

[atworkartists]

They are also endangered due to climate change. They will die in a few hours at temperature higher than 78º. They have been moving higher and higher in the mountains - but they will soon run out of habitat.

[atworkartists]

pika's aren't rodents. They are in the lagomorph family - which includes rabbits and hares. Although they look like hamsters, they are not related to hamsters or mice or any other rodent. Some of these pictures are not pika.

[Svaro]

Yeah, some of these are obivously not pika.

Also, pikachu... "pika" is the sound effect for electricity in Japan, and "chu" is the sound effect for squeaking in Japan.

[Kikoisinusgirl]

sum of the pics r chipmunks but it was still a good vid ^_^

[Adamthemann]

i think the non-pika pics are columbian ground squirrels, correct me if im wrong

[Kikoisinusgirl]

hmmmm, maybe im not sure....

[scifirocks]

some of these are actually squirrels

[7xXAfflictionXx7]

Pika...chu? well as an off topic referance i know what pikachu was based off now :P good video few mistakes with rodent mix-ups but good video.

[savefantine]

Lagomorpha is an order separate from the order Rodentia. Pikas are definitely not rodents! Anyway they are still adorable--cute slideshow.

[bjoybeads]

also called "coneys" or rock hares -

[imissrose123]

the inspiration from pikachu came from 2 things; the words "pika" (a spark or charge of electricity) and "chu" (the onomatopoeia of the squeaking noise a mouse makes) in japanese; and these animals.

[imissrose123]

2:42 thats a guinea pig, but nevermind. :P

[potc4ev]

Lol, yes, I made bunches of mistakes, but at least everyone is learning they're small rodents :P

[imissrose123]

potc4ev, yes, except you said yourself in the video that they're lagomorphs XDD

(forgive me if lagomorphs are a type of rodent, I don't know much about lagomorphs at ALL)

[jchen01]

pika strictly speaking are not rodents. they are cousins of rabbits

[HelenaJole]

@potc4ev Actually they aren't rodents, they're lagomorphs.

[potc4ev]

That's really cool, and I'm not just saying that. =]

[DanSusanTigger]

Did you know you've got a few photos of ground squirrels in there? Cute pics though.

[potc4ev]

Haha...no I didn't know that, but thanks for commenting!

[tymieshu]

pikachu's name might not be fully inspired by this, but the model certainly is.

[starl33nastar]

Pikas have been announced endandered. D:

[potc4ev]

noooooooooooooooooooooo =(

[chea145]

pika pika : -)

[potc4ev]

lol YES!

[frazrsmzic]

Actually, Pikachu's name has nothing to do with these. It's a combination of "pika" which is the Japanese onomatopoeia for electricity, and "chuu" which is the Japanese sound for a mouse.

[potc4ev]

now see...THAT makes way more sense...thank you for your random intelligence in this field :D

[frazrsmzic]

lol thanks... what can i say? imma genius. I can copy/paste things from wikipedia! lol...

[potc4ev]

lol um well .....i would say no comment but this is a comment so um....yey wikipedia?

[rileyvace]

You added some Prairie Dogs in :P

[potc4ev]

SCORE! lol acutally that's an epic fail on my part =[

[b182f4n]

Did you know that I was the inspiration for Charizard?

[potc4ev]

umm idk

[GeekUniverse]

duh did u know a turtle is the inspiration for squirttle? bawawawawa did you know a rat was inspiration for rattata? roflmfao

[potc4ev]

yea i did acutally....lol sry to ruin your fun

[HolyCow3000]

u got a few gophers and chipmunks...

[potc4ev]

whoops:P

[HolyCow3000]

lol it ok THER CUTE ANYWAYS :D

[potc4ev]

yuppers

[PokePoster]

Heheheehe, I thought you ment pikachu!

[potc4ev]

ummm...im lost?

[crysiscz]

pika means pussy on icelandic

[potc4ev]

well umm ok...but this has nothing to do with that....

[cindylover3]

can we see the vedio

[potc4ev]

? im sry what? that is the video

[camivette]

I thought pikachu came from the sound a rabbit and a mouse make in japanese. Pika is the sound a rabbit makes and chu is what mice say in Japan, instead of squeak like in English.

[potc4ev]

uh that's cool

[SolInvictus]

It's a bunny! Sort of.

[potc4ev]

they're related to bunnys :D

[alastairmctavish]

Go Lagomorphs

[potc4ev]

yes!!! and if it wasn't for biology then i would have never known what they were or if they even existed!

[betadinescrub]

How precious is that? I gotta have one.

[potc4ev]

lol that's what another one of my friends said.....he's gonna have his within a month. :P

[Kelletttate]

Did you ever get a pika?

[potc4ev]

no lol
