<p>The varied tapestry of the tallgrass, mixed-grass, and
short-grass prairies reaches from the eastern woodlands and oak savannas to the foothills of the Rockies. Grasses and wildflowers make good use of limited
rainfall, and fire helps sustain the ecosystem. Prairies
provide habitats for many animals, including the
pronghorn — North America's' fastest land animal —
and the prairie dog, one of many burrowing animals
that live on the prairies
</p>
<p>Settlers' steel plows
altered the landscape and transformed life on the
prairies.</p>
<p>Native prairie is rare today; remaining patches exist
because of careful management and diligent preservation efforts.
