10 interesting facts

• Grasslands are considered the transitional biome.
  This means that grasslands are usually found
  between the desert and the forest. It would
  become a forest if grasslands received more rain.
  If it received any less rain, it would be a
  desert.
• There are 3 types of grasslands. Tall grasslands
  have very tall grass, up to 5 feet tall, and they
  get almost 30 inches of rain a year. Mixed
  grasslands have grasses that grow around 2-3 feet
  high. This kind of grassland gets about 15-25
  inches of rain in a year. The third kind of
  grassland is the short grasslands. This type of
  grassland is almost a desert. It has very short
  grass and only receives 10 inches of rain each
  year.
• True prairies and grasslands are becoming harder
  and harder to find. People are taming the wild
  lands, and the grasslands are becoming as extinct
  as the animals that are missing from them today.
• In Africa, national parks are being set up to
  preserve the grasslands. This will help the
  animals such as lions and elephants as well.
• The United States is starting to perserve the
  wild grasslands, too. It is even replanting grass
  where it has been cleared for farming.

  Steppes.
