A coccyx injury results in pain and discomfort in the tailbone area (the condition is called coccydynia). These injuries may result in a bruise, dislocation, or fracture (break) of the coccyx. Although they may be slow to heal, the majority of coccyx injuries can be managed with cautious treatment.

Grasslands can be grassy swamps as well, such as in the Florida Everglades. The animal life in the grasslands have adapted to the grass as a food supply, and the availability of water (often seasonal, or too little, or too much). Grasslands are a type of flat plateau or flat land.
