Grassland | Plains Animals

Plains animals refer to the small but unique set of animals that inhabit the Great Plains regions of North America. Living within this diverse ecosystem that faces difficult natural conditions including limited rainfall and harsh winters and summers, plains animals have uniquely adapted to survive by roaming the prairie grasslands and hillsides. Today, plains animals are increasingly threatened by resource extraction and fragmentation which has led to calls for preservation and restoration of the region. Plains animals include a broad variety of species from the iconic bison to ferrets, wolves, coyotes, foxes, and grazing animals.

How do grazing animals help grasslands?

Grazing animals help grasslands by maintaining the ecosystem as well as stimulating plants for new growth. The constant grazing of these animals helps trigger biological activity while promoting nutrient exchanges. Grazing animals also help compact soil with their hooves as well as open new areas for seeds to spread.

What are grazing animals called?

Grazing animals are called ruminants as they eat by looking for forage, selecting the grass, and then grabbing and eating the forage with their mouth. Ruminants stand out from other animals as the way that they grasp and ingest food is different. Grazing animals also move differently in new pastures than other animals.

How do animals adapt to the grasslands?

Animals adapt to the grasslands through multiple factors as they have to withstand the challenges of the grasslands. Animals adapt to the grasslands by being fast and agile as well as carrying out nesting behavior adequate for their environment. Grassland animals typically embrace camouflage to blend, have a structured social system, and burrowing behavior.

Comparison drawing of the Brown Dog Tick compared to other arachnids

Carpet Python (Morelia spilota)
Comparison illustration of the size of a Carpet Python to other snakes

Commonly found in Oceanian Islands like Australia, Solomon's Island, and Papua New Guinea, the Carpet python (Morelia spilota) shows maternal care by not only incubating eggs but also protecting them. Carpet pythons belong to the family Pythonidae, and are also called diamond pythons, with females being larger and heavier than males. A triangular head with a body either in black, olive, white with gold markings makes it suitable in habitats such as rainforest, grassland, and woodlands, though it may also prefer semi-arboreal conditions. The snake is popular among ophidiophilia, and its name comes from its oriental carpet pattern on its skin.

The Carpet Python has an overall length between 6.5’-10’ (1.98-3.05 m), body width of roughly 1.6”-3.15” (4-8 cm), and weight from 26.4-33 lb (12-15 kg). The typical lifespan of the Carpet Python is between 15-30 years.
