In the prairie lands there are beautiful flowers like yellow pelted Black Eyed Susan, the tall, pink and orange feathery looking Blazing Stars, the yellow, leafy looking Goldenrod, the pale purple large daisy shaped Coneflower, the tall thin blue flowered Blue Eyed Grass the bright red clusters of Butterfly weed.the tall red, orange and blue Indian Paintbrush, the thin lavender looking Vervain and Jacaranda coloured Asters that look just like daisies and green clovers..
Prairies are made up of big open flat lands and long grasses.When the winds blow the grasses move just like the waves in the ocean.
In Summer, it is very hot and the grass becomes very brown and dry.Fires start very easily and the wind blows the fires to make them huge and very dangerous Big Squalls roll in and the clouds are black and very dark and the winds are very strong.In winter it gets very cold and it snows and hails a lot, You have to tie a rope between the house and the barn if you want to feed the animals so you don't get lost in the snowstorms..
You can usually see cranky badgers which have black fur with white stripes from their heads to their tails. The Gophers and Prairie dogs are adorable. They look like Squirrels and have light brown and creamy coloured fur and white or black tips on their tails.They make yipping sounds just like dogs.They live under the ground in burrows called towns. They are very social and usually kiss and cuddle each other.Some of the other animals are ferrets that look like long thin raccoons, Elk, Deer, Bobcats that look like a small linx or a cheetah. Big hairy, cow like Bison.Dingo looking coyotes, foxes and wolves,Small, mouse like Shrews, skunks, scorpions and snakes.
I would like to visit the Prairies during winter or Spring because then I could see the snow or the beautiful flowers but not during Summer because that's when there are dried dead grasses and there are lots of fires.
