Grasslands
The Savanna
The Savanna is a part of the biome grassland and is found in the continent of Africa.Grassland are a section of land that lacks the trees and large bushes that hide many creatures.
Due to the open landscape, the Savanna is home to mammals who graze in large herds, such as zebras.
Some of the other animals that live in the Savanna include leopards, cheetahs, African wild dogs and elephants, Black Mambas, Grant's Zebras, and so many more!
In addition to the many animals, Savanna is also the home to a plentiful amount of plants in the following categories of
exotic plants: herbaceous plants including the species Chloris; or more commonly known as tumble windmill grass,
A plant in the Chloris species under the herbaceous category are Rhode grass,
and the Legumes species, or pod plants that produce fruits. Some exotic plants include the Prickley Acacia, Mesquite, Rubbervine, Lantana, and Prickley Pear.
and in the Legumes species includes Buffalo grass, Giant Rat's tail grass, and stylosand. Other plants include the spotted cactus, white sage, cotton seed, and rosemary.

Adaptations of the Savanna
Every biome has its unique inhabitants that adapt to the climate of that region. On the Serengetti Plain, there are more than 40 different species of hoofed mammals. There used to be many herds of these animals but as time went on few large herds remain, except in Africa. Some animals that inhabit this biome include giraffes, olive baboons,wildebeests, zebras, elephants, and topis. For those who have ever seen a giraffe, you know how long their necks are. You probably didn't know that it is an adaptation. Giraffes have long necks so they can reach leaves that are high in trees. If they didn't have long necks they would've died because they couldn't get food. Olive baboons also adapt to their surroundings. Their tongues are long and skinny so when they eat the fruit off trees they won't be harmed by the spikes on it. There are so many adaptations, there's too many
