Adaptations to Temperate Grasslands

Ungulate or "hoofed animals" are animals such as bison, antelopes, blackbirds, and coyotes that shift their body weight on the tips of their toes.

The digestive systems of these animals have adapted in a way that they can eat and receive nutrition from a variety of the different grasses in the temperate grasslands.

A good number of the herbivores with front legs or paws have adapted in a way that they can dig burrows where they can hide from predators.

Since the grasslands have so much grass and vegetation, Prairie animals such as prairie dogs can blend in to the vegetation that surrounds them to hide from predators.
