Exploring Biomes: Deserts, Grasslands, and Chaparral

The video explores three biomes: deserts, grasslands, and chaparrals. Deserts are characterized by arid conditions, with plants like cacti and Joshua trees, and animals like armadillos. Grasslands, including savannahs and temperate types, support animals like giraffes and rabbits. Chaparrals, found in regions like the Mediterranean, have adapted to dry conditions and frequent fires, with flora like eucalyptus and fauna like koalas.
