Grasslands are wide expanses of space where there is very little rainfall. Trees are unable to grow because of the lack of water, so the ground is covered in grass. However, a wide range of grassland animals have adapted to deal with their surroundings. Grasslands fall into one of the two categories: temperate or tropical. The hot grasslands of Northern Africa and Australia are tropical while grasslands in North and South America and Siberia in Asia would be temperate. Grasslands features a unique and diverse climate, which provides home to a wide variety of different animals. Grazing animals, like antelope and bison, feed on the grass in the grasslands. Predators, like lions and jaguars, then pick them off and hunt them for food. Giraffes, African elephants, bison, black rhinoceros, and ostriches are examples of the types of larger animals that inhabit grasslands. They are also grazing animals which feed on grass in the very large space of grasslands. Most grasslands are excellent habitats for birds of prey because it is harder for prey to hide on grasslands. If a bird of prey can cover a large area with a clear sight to the ground, they can easily find the food they need to survive. The hawk, the owl, and the sparrow are examples of birds of prey. These birds typically eat smaller grasslands animals, such as prairie dogs, rats, mice, snakes and other rodents. In addition to the huge animals in the air and on the ground, a variety of smaller animals inhabit the tiny cracks or holes of trees, and grass of the grasslands. The small animals and insects represent the lower level of the food chain and ecosystem. (Source: Internet) 36. Grasslands, with grass covering the ground and nearly no trees, ___________.
