* South American Pampas: Characterized by herds of guanaco and other grazing animals.
* Eurasian Steppe: Home to wild horses, wild asses, and various rodents.
Factors Influencing Fauna:
* Climate: Temperature, rainfall, and seasonal changes influence the type of vegetation and, therefore, the animals that can live there.
* Geography: Features like rivers, mountains, and forests can create different habitats within the rolling plains.
* Human Impact: Human activities, such as farming, grazing, and development, can affect the populations of animals in rolling plains.
