Solution
Grasslands are lush green due to the presence of diverse types of bushes and grasses. Grasses are tall so that animals like tigers, lions, and elephants can remain hidden in them. Animals that are found in grasslands have adaptations like strong legs to run fast and capture their prey, claws, and sharp and pointed canines. The herbivores that are found in this region have eyes below the forehead, which gives them wide-angle vision, which protects them from predators.
