Fun Facts
A square foot of prairie holds about 500,000 nematodes, a type of roundworm. They may well be the dominant plant-eaters of the prairie...not bison!
Native Americans called a prairie fire "red buffalo" because it sounded like a thundering buffalo herd.
Termitaries (termite mounds) on the African savanna are favorite home sites for an unusual number of creatures: elephant shrews, bats, rodents, warthogs, aardvarks, pangolines, porcupines, hyenas, vipers, and ants.
