What are the difference between tropial and temperate grasslands?
Tropical grasslands or savannas lie north and south of the tropical rainforests that are on the equator. Tropical grasslands experience hot weather in all seasons, and during the winter a mass of dry sinking air covers the savannas. The summer is known as the rainy season with prevalent monsoons. They are mostly inhabited by larger mammals, like wildebeests and gazelles, as well as many reptile and insect species.
Temperate grasslands lie in the middle of the equator and the pole on both hemispheres. They are characterized by steppes and prairies, mostly, which are hot in the summer and cold in the winters. They receive a small amount of rainfall annually, especially when in comparison to tropical grasslands. They are mostly inhabited by smaller rodent-like animals. The larger mammals in the temperate grasslands are mostly grazers.
