Eleven Minutes on World Building by Biome - The Great Plains 

I have been looking for a channel like this for SO long...

It's actually a bit more interesting on an ecological level -- you shouldn't just put megafauna into your fantasy grasslands because they're cool... If you have grasslands, biologically you OUGHT put megafauna there, because in real life grasslands are formed by megafauna grazing/trampling anything larger than grass and small brush. Without those animals, the plant ecosystem would gradually become dominated by large plants that can shade-out their competition, like trees, and the grassland would eventually become a forest over time. Animals and plants don't *just* adapt to their ecosystems but they influence and change those ecosystems as well... The biome is really an interaction between all of its components, both living and non-living

Oh oh do the Arctic tundra / taiga! Oh or scrublands!

This is super cool! I really enjoy your narrative style. Couldnt ask for more other than perhaps a more consistent audio quality. Looking forward to more content from you! Just subscribed :)

I was so excited for this video when I saw the title but wow was this video so painfully insulting to those of us who live, work, admire and desire the great plains. I hope that you will consider trying again. As a channel seeking to speak on the 'basics of world-building' you really should acknowledge the goodness of each terrain you speak on. Think about it, if the inhabitants in your world don't care about or respect their territory, why would most of them choose to live, build, and as always seems to happen with humans - go to war for their land? Speaking of the land, you barely acknowledged the vast variability of the prairies; for the sake of attempted brevity I will mention that it is more than shrubs and short-grasses (though those are wonderful) there is also savana, bluffs and tallgrasses (tallgrasses which can easily hide an average height person) I respect your feelings regarding the great plains, however should you choose to try again (as I hope you do) I encourage you to speak to/do research about those who *do* recognize the majesty, wonder, importance, and power of the prairies; native americans, homesteaders, heck even many of our storm chasers etc etc. I grew up in kansas (whose topography across the whole state is more varied than I think you realize), and i am here to tell you there is MUCH to cherish about the great plains. As a wise person once said "anyone can love a mountain, it takes a soul to love a prairie". Have a wonderful day!!

Giant moocow!!

This was the first of your videos that has shown up in my feed. I subd and I'll check out your channel.

Man, I wish I could weave words together to paint a picture like you do. 😩

What's a weather encounter?? I've never heard of this! How do you run one? 😮
