That can happen because if the grass is way to dried and if its really hot that can cause a fire. If there is a fire then that can and will kill any type of animal that is located in the temperate grasslands. ]]> 2017-03-07 23:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/demligons787/8ifmpjcjx1y2/wish/158525686 keicasillas504 https://padlet.com/demligons787/8ifmpjcjx1y2/wish/158528417 Some type of species in the temperate grasslands are bison, pronghorn, gophers, prairie dogs, wolves, coyotes, foxes, badgers, ferrets. ]]> 2017-03-07 23:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/demligons787/8ifmpjcjx1y2/wish/158528417 samllanas_castillo095 https://padlet.com/demligons787/8ifmpjcjx1y2/wish/158542333 Some primary consumers are bison, prairie dogs, mice, and woodchucks.
