Pan Habitats<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A distinctive feature of the CKGR is the pan habitats. Many roads run through pans, and campsites are usally close by. They \u00a0consist of a hard clay base in a flat depression. The pans provide exceptional grazing for some species, even though the grass is usually short. Nutrients like calcium and phosphorous are presumed to be abundant and sought by grazing herbivores.<\/p>\n
