often located between tropical rainforests
and deserts
• Found in Africa, Asia, Australia and S.
America
• It’s mostly made up of grass but there are a
few trees.
Introduction • Because of the availability of grass in the
savanna, there are many grazing animals
who take advantage of this abundant food
supply

supply. If one species of animal were
removed, the entire ecosystem would be
altered.

Flora and during the dry season that they barely make
it alive during the wet season.

adapted to survive long periods of drought,
and animals are normally those with long
legs that serve well for migrations of great
distances to move as the weather changes.
