Prairies are wide open areas without any trees.
There are three different types of grasslands in the United States and Canada. They are the short grass prairie, the mixed grass prairie, and the tall grass prairie. Most of the animals that you are just about to read about come from Africa, where the grasslands there are known as savannas. They eat leaves, twigs, shoots, roots, and fruits from different plants and sometimes from cultivated crops. Usually, the female elephant has up to two calves or babies every four years.
