About the habitat: Grasslands
Grasslands are open terrestrial habitats dominated by grasses and herbaceous plants, with few trees or shrubs. Found across many regions of the world—including prairies, steppes, and plains—grasslands are shaped by seasonal rainfall, fire, and grazing.These habitats support large herbivores, predators, birds, and insects, playing a vital role in global food webs. Grasslands are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth, yet they are also highly vulnerable to agricultural conversion and habitat loss.
