Savannah Habitat
A savanna is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees, which can be found between a tropical rainforest and desert biome. Not enough rain falls on a savanna to support forests. Savannas are also known as tropical grasslands. They are found in a wide band on either side of the equator on the edges of tropical rainforests.
- The savanna biome is mostly made up of grass but there are a few trees.
- The largest part of the savanna biome is located in Africa.
- Almost half of Africa is considered a savanna.
- Climate is very important in the savanna biome. If the rainfall decreases and/or the temperature increases, the animals and plants will not be able to continue to survive.
- plants have adapted to this climate, some store water in their roots and others extend their long roots deep into the ground to recover water from the water table.
