bison, lion, giraffe
wildebeest, gazelle, meerecat
rabbit, prairie dog, bison, fox
deer, coyote, owl
Which map represents the temperate grassland?
Which statement best matches Savanna soil characteristics:

nutrient poor: monsoons wash nutrients away
nutrient rich: insects turn soil, giving easy access to producers
