Grasslands in South American are called the Pampas; in Asia and Russia they are known as steppes. In the United States, grasslands are also known as prairies and can either be short-grass prairies or tall-grass prairies; the amount of rain is the determining factor. Prairies get enough moisture to support hundreds of animal, bird and plant species.
