big open spaces with only a
few trees by the rivers. What
biome am I?
• grasslands
• desert
Right!
• Warm and hot temperatures
• Dry and rainy seasons
• 20 to 50 inches of rain
Wrong!!
• I have lots of green grass.
• This is my sound
I am poisonous…
• To keep animals
away
• To kill prey
Right answer
• I have fuzzy leaves to reflect the sun.
• I am poisonous so animals do not eat
me.
• My roots go deep into the ground so I
can get more water.
Sorry!
• I have red flowers to attract monarch
butterflies.
So? What am I?
• I am flexible because it is windy.
• I am M _ _ _ w _ _ d.
