When the underground coal fire was burning, this area looked more like a wasteland than a grassland. After the fire burned out, prairie plants reclaimed the land slowly over time.
From a distance, prairie may look plain, but it is actually one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. An up-close look reveals many different species of grasses and other plants.
