This adorable creature is small, typically around the size of a guinea pig, and has a thick, grey-brown coat to keep it warm . Its tiny feet are perfect for scampering around its rocky home, and its big eyes are always on the lookout for possible danger. But don't be fooled by its size, the American pika is one tough little creature!  \nSpeaking of being tough, let's delve into the habitat of this hardy creature. American pikas are found in the mountainous regions of western North America, where they live in rocky slopes known astalus. They prefer cool climates and are most commonly found at high altitudes, where temperatures are low and there's plenty of fresh air. The rocky terrain also provides them with lots of hiding spots from predators.  \nNow, you might be wondering what these cute critters munch on in these rocky homes. Well, American pikas are herbivores, which means they eat plants. Their diet consists mainly of grasses, leaves, and flowers, which they gather and store in 'haypiles' for the winter months when food is scarce. They're like tiny, furry farmers, aren't they?  \nFrom being little farmers to playing a part in our ecosystem, American pikas sure do a lot! They're considered a 'sentinel species', which means they help scientists understand changes in our environment. Their sensitive nature to temperature changes makes them important to their ecosystem, as their presence, or absence, can indicate the health of their environment. So next time you think of the American pika, remember - they may be small, but they play a big part in our world!  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) What type of climate do American pikas prefer?  \nA.
