A majority of the world's savannahs are located in Africa, but they can also be found in South America, India, and Australia. Rainfall in this biome is between 20 to 60 inches per year, and it usually falls within a period of weeks. Growth occurs after the rainfall, but long periods of drought will follow. In the savannahs, the dominant plant life are small plants and grasses, such as Elephant Grass, Heather, and Acacia. The grasses are kept low by wildebeasts and in some places, water buffaloes.
Trees only dot the landscape.
The wild fruit trees provide food for many of the birds and animals. There are many different species that live in savannahs. Forty percent of the wildlife are mammals, such as the lion, zebra, giraffe, tiger, baboons, elephant, rhinoceros, and gazelle. There are amphibians, such as the African Tree Frog. Hundreds of birds live in this habitat, like the vulture, flamingo, and marabou stork.
