Grassland biomes are big, open areas that receive between 250 and 750 millimetres of rain per year.
This is less rain than a forest receives and more than a desert receives.
Grasslands are found on every continent except Antarctica. They are covered with grass, shrubs and a few trees.
Most of the vegetation is prevented from turning into forest by fire, animal grazing, or lack of water.
Many animals rely on grasslands for food, water and shelter.
Animals living in the African Grasslands include: African Elephant, African Wild Dog, Black Mamba, Caracal, Chacma Baboon, Egyptian Mongoose, Emu, Grant's Zebra, Koala Bear, Lion, Nigriceps Ants, Nile Crocodile
