Exploring Biomes: Deserts, Grasslands, and Chaparral

The video explores three biomes: deserts, grasslands, and chaparrals. Deserts are hot and dry, home to cacti, Joshua trees, and armadillos. Grasslands, including savannahs and temperate regions, support giraffes and rabbits. Chaparrals, found near the Mediterranean, have shrubs and eucalyptus trees, with koalas as inhabitants. Each biome has unique adaptations for survival. The video concludes with a review and quiz questions.
