A prairie ecosystem has many important factors. The animals rely on rain, because water is a necessity of life. The plants do as well, but the animals also rely on the plants for food if they are herbivores. The carnivores, however, rely on the herbivores, so they are actually relying on plants. If you don't know this already, that is an example of a food web/chain.

The other thing that is important in a prairie ecosystem is shelter. Because there is not much above ground, many animals resort to underground homes where they are often safer.
