A suggestion: Jetpunk needs more 'disproportionality' quizzes. For instance, the disproportionality version of this quiz would find the average rate of grasslands in all countries, then see which countries have the most over that for their area, and finally introduce a cutoff (say, about the size of Bangladesh or similar). It's better than basic numbers (which favour large countries) or percentages (which favour small countries).

you... you do realize that grassland is a natural biome and doesn't have to do with cattle, right?

How does Peru have more grasslands than Argentina?

Argentina seems to be a weird case. Here's a viewer for our data source:

https://lcviewer.vito.be/2015

Argentina's plains seem to be mostly cropland or shrubland, not grassland. Obviously, there could be a lot of room for interpretation between shrubland/grassland. But before you ask for shrubland to be included, take a look at that viewer again. Look at areas like South Texas which are marked as shrubland. Those are mostly desert. It seems that shrubland should NOT be included.

Without more information, I'd say the data is accurate.

It's interesting (if surprising) to me, I also expected Argentina to be there.

Even though, most of Argentina is considered as grassland just like Brazil make the list, it's the continuity of Pampa Region and Chaco/Mato Grosso.

maybe a caveat should be added as I think probably the conventional understanding of grassland includes the most prototypical grasslands of the world which are being farmed, like the Great Plains or the Pampas
