Across the Grasslands: Prairie Animals & Habitats

Explore the wide-open world of grasslands, prairies, and plains! In this hands-on science box for kids, young explorers discover how animals survive in landscapes where grasses stretch for miles and trees can be few and far between. Meet the busy Black-Tailed Prairie Dog, whose underground towns are an important part of the North American prairie, and the remarkable Przewalski’s Horse, a rare wild horse built for life on the open grasslands of Central Asia. Along the way, kids discover burrows, herds, habitats, and the surprising amount of life found in these seemingly simple landscapes.
