Zoologist There are a lot of herbivores in the grassland Savannah. It is ok

because there is a lot of long wavy grass. Only few trees cover the land. Here are some of the animals that are herbivores: Giraffes, African Elephants, zebras and there are even more.

There are many different types of carnivores in the grassland Savannah. There are Lions, Hyenas and even cheetahs! Carnivores mean they eat only meat no fruits no vegetables. Here is some pictures of the Animals that are carnivores.

Omnivores are animals that eat both plants and meat so they are like humans (if your not a vegetarian). There aren't that many animals in the grassland savannah that are omnivores. Here are a few animals that are omnivores : Jackals, Hyenas, and Ravens.

One decomposer in the savannah is the hyena. Hyenas and other decomposers play important roles in their environment. Hyenas and other decomposers take the dead bodies of other organisms and put them back into the environment. They eat the dead bodies of other animals. They also help break down carcass's. Some other decomposers in the savannah are beetles, termites, and millepedes.

Geographer • Where is grassland savanna located? • Grassland savanna is located in many places, half of Africa is savanna other

places are: Australia, South America, and India. • Give a description of the physical features of grassland savannas. • A savanna is covered by scattered individual trees , mountains, lots of grass

for the animals to eat and its mostly flat land. • How humans influence the Environment in this biome. Humans aren't to bad to grasslandSavannas but when tourist come They force the animals to be seen and the animals get scared by all the flashes

of the cameras and the safari cars make noise.

Abiotic factors often help plants in the Savannah. The sunlight helps the plants grow by shining down on it. The summer climate is also good for the plants because it is wet. The water helps these plants grow. The soil is also very helpful. It is porus. Porus means it is full of pores. The soil also has a rapid drainage of water.The plants in the savannah have to go through many special adaptions. They have to adapt to the dry and humid winter weather. They have to withstand not having to much water and because of that most of the grass is dry and coarse. The grass will mainly grow on flat areas. Plants cannot grow in certain places of the savannah because it is to dry or many other reasons. So you will mostly see that the plants grow in little patches. The trees have to adapt to the low rainfall but most don’t make it.
