One interesting fact about the grasslands biome?

Answer 1

• Grasslands are primarily occupied by herbaceous vegetation such as grasses, sedges, and forbs
• Root system of most grasslands are very very deep, with rich soil underneath
• Most herbivores that live in a grassland environment (with exception to the rodents) are ruminants, with the adaptation to graze and live off of grasses only. These animals are called ungulates.
• Animals in the African grassland include wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, lions, hyenas, wild dogs, meerkats, various species of antelope (including blackbuck, gazelles, gerenuks, and kudus), buffalo, elephants, warthogs, foxes, etc.
• Animals in the North American grasslands include mule and whitetail deer, pronghorn, bison, timber wolves, coyotes, prairie dogs and richardson's ground-squirrel, burrowing owls, black-footed ferrets (now being reintroduced), elk, bighorn sheep, various species of hawks (such as the red-tail and sparrow hawk), jackrabbits and hares, foxes, etc.
• Grassland terrain ranges from rolling hills to a flat landscape; grasslands even exist on mountains above the treeline and foothills of such places as Montana, Colorado and Alberta.
• Grasslands exist[ed] naturally in all continents except perhaps Antarctica
• Serengeti generally refers to the vast grassland of Africa
• Prairie generally refers to the vast grassland of North America (between Canada and the USA)
• Average rainfall of most natural grasslands ranges from 500 to 1200 mm per year, and most rainfall occurs in late spring and early summer for the temperate grasslands.
• African grasslands see an annual rainfall of 800 to 1200 mm per year over a 6 to 8 month period, proceeded by extreme drought until the next rains come.
• Trees are almost non-existent in the Prairie grassland because of the low precipitation, except along river banks.

Grasslands cover 20% of the earth and two seasons occur there. Hot wet summers and cool dry winters.
