-- There is no such thing as "coldness". There is heat energy. Where there is heat energy,

you absorb some of it, and you feel warm. Where there is little heat energy, you lose

some of the heat energy you already have, and you feel cold.

-- At low altitude or on the ground, you are surrounded by the ground, by dense air,

and possibly by bodies of water. All of these absorb and store heat energy efficiently

from solar radiation.

-- At high altitude, there is no ground nearby holding heat energy, and no bodies of water.

Also, the air is less dense, and less able to hold heat energy.

Can guinea pig survive in high altitude?

I don't think they can survive high altitude. Because they are so small, and when you are in a high altitude your not close to ground, and the air around you is different. And picturing my Guinea Pig in a high altitude is scary enough because she is so small, and fragile, too, lol. But, the main point is, guinea pigs probably can't survive in a high altitude, only different creatures.
