Pampas

The Pampas are a grassland in southern South America. They are flat, fertile plains that covers an area of 300,000 sq. miles from the Atlantic Ocean to the Andes Mountains.

The humid Pampas ecosystem is one of the richest grazing areas in the world. Because of its temperate climate and rich, deep soil, most of the Pampas has been cultivated and turned into croplands.

There are many kinds of animal and plant life in the Pampas. Native plants and animals on the Pampas have made adaptations to living in a windy grassland. Many animals browse on grass or burrow in the ground.
