Ostriches usually eat plants, but sometimes they eat small reptiles. There are three types of grasslands. They are tall grass, mixed-grass, and short grass. Tall grass can be up to five feet tall. Mixed-grass can be two to three feet tall.
Short grass is about two feet tall.
Temperatures can be as high as 100 degrees in the summer. You may think prairie fires are bad for the prairie, but actually, they are good. They burn woody growth, enrich the soil, and burn dried vegetation so the sun can warm the soil. Here's a close up of a flower with a dragonfly on it.
