Latitude, soil and local climates are the factors that determine what kinds of plants grow in that particular grassland. A grassland is the region where the average annual precipitation is only enough to support grass, and sometimes trees.]]> 2019-04-25 19:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/s1554376/alyrkfwxqs8f/wish/354264678 Locations s1619502 https://padlet.com/s1554376/alyrkfwxqs8f/wish/354265719 Grasslands are located north of tropic of Cancer and south of tropic of Capricorn.

Zebra- A mammal that has pointed ears to help it stay alert while also being kin to a horse, this allows it to run away from most predators while also throwing them off with its striped pattern.]]> 2019-04-25 20:25:16 UTC https://padlet.com/s1554376/alyrkfwxqs8f/wish/354272948 Symbiotic relationships s1554376 https://padlet.com/s1554376/alyrkfwxqs8f/wish/354273336 Most Grasslands are host for many parasitic relationships, we chose to do the tick. Ticks latch on to larger animals and feed on the creatures blood like a mosquito that never flies away.

Another reltionhship is any grazing animal and birds, when the animals graze the disturb insects and make easy pickings for any birds around. 

Finally there is the ox picker, these birds stand on large herbavoires and eat surrounding bugs and ticks on the animal which helps the herbivore and giving the bird by having a free meal
