Their thick, insulating fur helps them conserve heat efficiently on the windy, barren slopes. #pika #conservation #wildlife #americanpika | National Fish and Wildlife Foundation | Facebook

The American pika is about the size of a large -- and adorable -- baked potato. But unlike baked potatoes, pikas are fierce and are the inspiration behind the most famous of all Pokémon: Pikachu. Sadly, American pika habitat in the snowy, high mountain, alpine meadows of western North America are threatened by climate change.
