a lot of insects live there, because they can go underneath the ground for protection from insect-eaters.
ostriches, eat insects and grass.
animals like zebra's, giraffe's, rabbits. are called grassland mammals.
grasslands soil is weak ,  so less tree's are there, and the only plant that grows there is grass.
Hyena's , lions, etc, hunt there for thier preys, as they are carnivores, and a lot of animals live there, so there is more to eat.
Vultures also live there, and they eat the leftovers of a dead animal, and all the animals that are dead, so that no food is leftover.

in the savannah the trees are widely spaced meaning that the trees are more distanced

What is a grassland ?                          Grasslands are areas where the vegetation is dominated by grasses (Poaceae), however sedge (Cyperaceae) and rush (Juncaceae) families can also be found. Grasslands occur naturally on all continents except Antarctica. Grasslands are found in most ecoregions of the Earth. For example, there are five terrestrial ecoregion classifications (subdivisions) of the temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands biome (ecosystem), which is one of eight terrestrial ecozones of the Earth's surface.   The name for this biome, temperate grasslands, is a great  c description for what it is like here. The most important plants in this biome are grasses! Temperate grasslands have some of the darkest, richest soils in the world (not in wealth, but in nutrients). People who live in grassland regions often use these soils for farming. In North America we call temperate grasslands prairies. Major grasslands in North America are the Great Plains of the Midwest, The Palouse Prairie of eastern Washington State, and other grasslands in the southwest. In Eurasia temperate grasslands are known as steppes and they are found between the Ukraine and Russia. In South America they are called pampas, and are located in Argentina and Uruguay. In South Africa temperate grasslands are known as veldts.WEATHER: Temperatures in this biome vary greatly between summer and winter. The summers are hot and the winters are cold - much colder than Santa Barbara! With cold winters, it’s surprising how hot the grassland summers can get! Sometimes the temperature is more than 100°F (37.8°C). Rain in the temperate grasslands usually occurs in the late spring and early summer. The yearly average is about 20 - 35 inches (55 - 95 cm), but much of this falls as snow in the winter. Fire is not foreign in temperate grasslands. They are often set by lightning or human activity. Fire regularly swept the plains in earlier times, and to some extent still does today.                                                               ANIMALS: Example of animals living  on grassland  are Jaguar, African Wild Dog, Pronghorn, Black Footed Ferret, Plains Bison, Mountain Plover, African Elephant,  Sumatran Tiger, Black Rhino, White Rhino, Savanna Elephant, Greater One Horned Rhino, Malayan Tiger, Indian Elephant,  Swift Fox etc.  All grasslands share a lack of shelter from predators, and an abundance aof grass for food; therefore, grassland animal populations are similar throughout the world. The dominant vertebrates in grasslands are herbivorous or plant-eating grazers called ungulates. Ungulates are mammals with hoofs, like horses and deer. Their long legs help them run fast to escape grassland predators. The temperate grassland does not have much animal diversity, especially compared to the Savannah. Some animals that inhabit temperate grasslands in North America are bison, antelope, birds, gophers, prairie dogs, coyotes, and insects. On the steppes you’ll find similar animals to the Great Plains including lynx, antelopes, falcons, and fox.                               PLANTS: Grasses dominate temperate grasslands. Trees and large shrubs are rarely found in grassland areas. There are many species of grasses that live in this biome, including, purple needlegrass, wild oats, foxtail, ryegrass, and buffalo grass. Many animals munch on these grasses, but they survive because the growth point on the grasses is very close to the ground. Also, with underground stems and buds, grasses are not easily destroyed by fire. Shrubs and trees that live in temperate grasslands are not as good as grasses at coping with the flames, and often are destroyed by fire. Wildflowers also grow well in temperate grasslands. Popular flowers that you might find growing on grasslands are asters, blazing stars, goldenrods, sunflowers, clovers, and wild indigos.                                 PEOPLE AND THE TEMPERATE GRASSLAND: One of the main environmental concerns regarding temperate grasslands is the conversion of grassland to farmland. The rich soil is ideal for farming and grazing. With continual agricultural development and progress we have lost many of our natural grasslands. Instead of native grasses, now grasslands supply corn, wheat, and other grains, as well as grazing areas for domestic ungulates, such as sheep and cattle. The food supplied by farmlands is important, but so is this unique biome, and the plants and animals that live in the temperate grassland.

Grassland biomes are very large areas of grass. Many plants don't grow there because of lack of nutrients in the soil. Some of the animals they live in grasslands are:
•Bisons
•Pronghorns
•Pocket gophers
•Prairie dogs
•Wolves
And some of the plants that grow over there are:-
•Needlegrass
•Wild oats
•Foxtail
•Ryegrass
•Buffalo grass
Climate for grasslands are hot in summers but very cold in winter. Summer temperatures can be well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, while winter temperatures can be as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hi Kids, do a proper inquiry into the grasslands Biome and share your results and have a very good discussion.Be prepared for your presentation.All the best!                   Ms Jeeva

Grasslands (also called greenswards) are areas where the vegetation is dominated by grasses (Poaceae) and other herbaceous (non-woody) plants (forbs). However, sedge (Cyperaceae) and rush (Juncaceae) families can also be found. Grasslands occur naturally on all continents except Antarctica.
