Grasslands Presentation
Transcript: Grassland Climoatograph Bibliography Grasslands are made up of grass (obviously hence the name), bushes and trees. Pangolin live in Savanna Grasslands. Pangolins are covered in scales that camouflage and protect them from bigger predators, if they feel threatened then they will curl up into a ball. There are 8 species of Pangolin. Pangolin eat bugs, ants and termites. They use their long tongue to eat them. They do not have teeth because they do not need to chew their food because their stomachs have the ability to digest and chew the food for them because their stomachs are very strong. They stay by themselves and usually stay awake during the night. The importance to have different biomes is so that different plants and animals have the chance to survive. Because some plants and animals are only able to survive in some conditions. Temperate grassland have needle grass, blue grama, buffelo grass and galleta. Grass from temperate grasslands get destroyed or will be not able to thrive properly if they have problems like getting eaten by many grassing animals, getting burnt from a fire or drying up from a drought. Umbrella Thorne is a very well known African Grassland tree. Umbrella Thorne Acacia grow in areas that have a yearly rain averaging of 4cm. Umbrella Thorne put up with 50° degree heat and freezing temperatures. Umbrella Thorne have grey to green colored leaves. Umbrella Thorne have thornes of various sizes that harden as they get old. The gum that is produced by the tree is eatable by humans we nickname it the "poor mans gum." Umbrella Thorne leaves, pods and flowers are eaten by many animals. Seeds inside the pods can be consumed by animals then the seeds pass naturally in droppings them are replanted in the soil. Characteristics Polar lands can have temperatures ranging from 5 degrees to -50 degrees Celsius. This is very different to Grasslands because Grasslands like the Savanna can go to 50 degrees celcius and drop low at night this is very different to the freezing conditions in Polar Lands. Polar lands are at the top and the bottom of the earth where the sun doesn't hit it as much as the Grass lands who are below and on top of the equator. Which gives polar lands at the top of the earth only a summer and a winter and a summer that can be very dark Flora In Grasslands Where grasslands are Grasslands have many different types of grass. Savanna Grasslands have many types of grass such as Rhode Grass, Red Oats, Star Grass and Lemon Grass. Savannas flora can get very dry in the dry season. Therefore the Savanna grasslands catch on fure very easy. The Savanna Flora get very familier with the situation so the plants have evolved. The trees have grown thick bark that allows the water storage stay in the trunk. The grass have grown longer roots that reach the water source underground and have the ability to regrow fast after fires. Harrier are a type of bird of prey. They fly low over open areas in grasslands to hunt for small prey. They are in the same group as hawks. They hunt usually during the day rather than night. They have their nest protected near tall grasses or bushes. Grassland and Polar Lands Lions live in Grasslands where you can hear their loud roar from 5.5 km away. Lions are not hunted by any other animals which make them at the top of the food chain. Lions eat many big mammals like Zebra's, Wilde beasts, Warthogs and even animals bigger than them like Hippo's. Giraffe's, Buffalo's, Elephants and many other animals. They spend most of their time sleeping in a Pride (a group of lions) where they all hunt together. A Pride usually has between 12-40 lions. Lions in the wild usually live the age of 15. Hollenstein-Kraftwerk Climate Graph Polar Lands and Grasslands fauna Of Grasslands Grasslands There is grasslands on every continent except Antarctica. Some of the countries you can find grasslands in are North Africa, South Africa, China, Australia, India, Southern Brazil Botswana, Namibia, Kenya and many more countries.There are many different names for the many types of grasslands. In South America they called their grasslands Pampas, North America call theirs Prairies, Africa calls theirs Savannahs, Asia calls theirs Steppes and Australia calls theirs Grasslands. Grasslands are en forests and deserts.
