Producers in the Savanna such as trees, shrubs, and grass use photosynthesis to produce food from sunlight. Primary consumers like zebras, elephants, and antelope eat the producers to obtain energy and nutrients. Secondary consumers such as cheetahs and lions prey on the primary consumers, continuing the food chain. Scavengers then eat leftover meat not consumed by primary consumers, and decomposers like fungi and microorganisms break down remaining materials, releasing nutrients back into the soil.

Producers in Savanna These producers make their food using the process of photosynthesis and are eaten by various herbivores in the Savanna lands. they gather up their energy from the sun to grow along with the yearly inundation. For e.g.: Trees, Shrubs and Grass Primary Consumers In Savanna These primary consumers consume the plants and take energy and nutrients from plant for them. For e.g.: Zebra, Elephants, Antelope and water buffalo An organism that consumes primary producers as food that convert simple organic substance to more complex. Secondary Consumers These secondary consumers catch their prey the primary consumers and consume them to also get energy from them, there is a basic food chain so all the animals get plants energy. For e.g.: Cheetah, Lions, Snakes, and Lemurs Scavengers These scavengers then come along and eat the leftover chunks of meat the primary consumers left and didn't eat. For e.g.: Termites, Vultures, Hyena, Ants, and Crickets Decomposes or Detriments These break down the remnants of what the scavengers left. breaking down the bones and releases energy back to the sun and provides nutrients to the soils and becomes a fertilizer. then new plant life is produced. For e.g.: Insects, Fungi, Mushrooms and Microorganism
