Evolution of the horseRelated: Expanding grasslands altered food and habitat conditions for later horses.
Canid evolutionRelated: Expanding open habitats created new ecological opportunities for running and hunting canids.
GeladaNarrower topic: Open grasslands supply the leaves, stems, and seeds that make up much of the gelada diet.
EstrildidaeNarrower topic: Many estrildids depend on grasslands for seeds, cover, and nesting.
Bat-eared foxNarrower topic: Open grasslands provide the fox with access to insect prey and room to forage.
