Five Kingdoms Summary
The types of bacteria here range from //Escherichia coli// to the Cyanobacterium, //Cyanobium parvum//. Protozoans found here fall under the Protist Kingdom. Different types of fungi range from Waxcaps to Fairy Ring Mushrooms. The most common types of plants are usually some sort of grasses. The heights of these grasses range from shorter than 30 centimeters, to very tall in the African savannah. A huge variety of animals live in the grassland biome. Some animals, such as coyotes, red-tailed hawks, jackrabbits, red foxes, lizards, koalas, snakes, tigers, zebras, elephants, and many more, could be found in the different types of grasslands. The animals of the grasslands also adapt to the environment in many different ways. Because of the high grasses, some animals are able to hide in them to keep away from predators. The other larger animals, though, use other adaptations.
