Countless insects live in the temperate grasslands. Lady beetles, scarab, beetles, stink bugs, dragon flies, and grass hoppers. Insects make great snacks for animals such as birds, snakes, and rodents. Animals such as prairie dogs, mice, hamsters, gerbils, and susliks live here. Bigger animals such as kangaroos, saiga, antelope, wolves, coyotes, and bison. The fauna (which do not all occur in the same temperate grassland) include Gazelles, zebras, rhinoceroses, wild horses, lions, jack rabbits, deer, foxes, skunks, badgers, blackbirds, grouses, meadowlarks, quails, sparrows, hawks, various owls, leafhoppers, and spiders. All grasslands share a lack of shelter of shelter from predators, and an abundance of grass for food; therefor, grassland animal populations are similar throughout the world. The dominant vertebrates in grasslands are herbivorous or plant-eating grazers called ungulates. ungulates are mammals with hoofs, like horse and deer. their long legs help them run fast to escape grassland predators. The temperate grassland does not have much animal diversity, especially compared to the savannah. On the stepped you'll find similar animals to the great plains including lynx, antelopes, falcons, fox.
