Plants and animals living in the grasslands must be able to adapt to the lack of trees and heavy brush for shelter as well as the seasonal drought and limited rainfall.

Plants and animals in grasslands. Unlike savannas, where there is a large diversity of animals present, temperate grasslands are generally dominated by just a few species of herbivores such as bison, rabbits, deer, antelope, gophers, prairie dogs,and antelopes. The few trees and shrubs that grow in temperate grasslands typically cannot withstand flames. In temperate grasslands, though, there are also quite a few wildflowers, whereas tropical grasslands are home to many trees that are uniquely adapted to the grassland biome.

These areas support numerous plants and animals adapted to the unique hydrologic regimes and soil conditions. Grasslands cover 25 percent of the world’s surface. But they are all places where there is too little rain for trees to grow in great numbers.

The considerably lengthy list of animals inhabiting the grasslands begins with invertebrates, like carrion beetles and tiger beetles, and ends with large mammals, like elephants and giraffes. Animals and plants must be able to adapt to the two seasons (summer and winter) of the grasslands. Large numbers of birds, grazing mammals, reptiles, insects and predators live throughout the grasslands of the world.

Grasslands have many names—prairies in north america, asian steppes, savannahs and veldts in africa, australian rangelands, and pampas, llanos and cerrados in south america. The grassland biome is also called prairies, steppes and plains. When it comes to animals, grasses and similar plants are certainly a special culinary delight!

Advertisement meanwhile, the southeastern grasslands initiative is working to restore thousands of acres of other grasslands while also developing a seed bank, discovering new species and leading volunteers to search for remnants. Many grassland animals feed on grasses, thriving due to the grasses’ close growth point to the ground. Grasslands occur in environments conducive to the growth of this plant cover but not to that of taller plants, particularly trees and shrubs.

Fire is a common phenomenon in grasslands. Grassland biomes are found in the middle latitudes and in the interiors of continents. Having thick roots, under ground.
