The grasses commonly found in the Kalahari Desert include species such as the Kalahari sand grass (Stipagrostis spp.), red grass (Themeda triandra), and various types of perennial grasses. These grasses are well adapted to the arid conditions of the region, often featuring deep root systems to access water. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem, providing essential forage for herbivores and helping to stabilize the sandy soil.
