Special features showing range, conservation status, and diet visually support the text to aid in learning and comprehension.

The sun beats down on the African savanna, while icy winds whip across the Great Plains in North America. Theres nothing to shelter the animals that live in this wide-open biome from the harshness of these elements, so they must find other ways to survive.
