The giraffe is a beautiful animal. It has adapted to survive the grasslands and savannas of Africa. They have adapted by having long necks to reach the tree leaves in the grasslands and long legs to protect their body from predators such as the lion. They have adapted to survive the climates as well.

Threats in the grassland biome include the following: neglect, inappropriate grazing, nutrient enrichment, altered burning practices, fragmentation, clearing, tree growing and toxins. They are also threatened by habitat loss. Human actions are causing grassland biomes to clear and die off.

The topography for grasslands is mostly flat, wide areas of land. Grasslands are dominated by a single layer of grass. The altitude of grasslands can be between near sea level, to around 2 850 meters above sea level. The amount of cover depends on the degree of grazing and precipitation.  The average sunlight the grassland gets is about 11.86 hours a day. It gets average sunlight because it occurs in the middle  latitude which is 25-55º in both hemispheres.

The average climate in grasslands usually range from -20  degrees Celsius to 30 degrees Celsius. While tropical grasslands have wet and dry seasons that stay warm all the time, temperate grasslands have warms summers and cold winters with moderate rain. The rainfall is the highest toward the middle of the year, then starts to lower at the end and beginning of the year. Toward the middle of the year, the climate reaches to about 77 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, and stays mostly warms during the year while having cooler winters. It can reach down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit during the winters.

Grassland biomes are areas that are filled with grass species and animal species. This biome usually has a perfect amount of precipitation, allowing many root plants to grow while still not having enough precipitation for large plants or trees to dominate the area. The grassland biome is made up of wide, large areas of open grass that is maintained by grazing animals and fires. The climate is ideal for the growth of grasses only. Two major locations of grasslands are located in the prairies in North America and the steppe stretched across Europe and Asia.
