12. Adaption Adaption- Animals that live in the grasslands have many advantages and are able to acquire resources like water found in difficult places, for example by using adaption. Animals adapt to the grassland habitat with evident strategies for shelter and to protect themselves from danger where there are little places to hide. Many grassland animals are able to run very quickly, as well. In addition, living in herds, or in large groups, is safer than being alone because if not, then it would be easier for predators to kill.

13. Abiotic Abiotic- It can cause animals to migrate to warmer climates or even where there is better feeding. It also affects them by helping them adapt to new surroundings.

14. Biotic Biotic- Overgrazing severely hurts the entire grassland biome. Overgrazing happens when the biome has too many animals in an area. It diminishes plants which decreases the plants ability to be able to use the sun to grow. Therefore plants get weak and their roots become shorter. During dry weather, the plants with short roots will not be able to stay alive because they can’t absorb minerals they need.
