savannahs

Savannahs are large, open landscapes characterized by grasslands with scattered trees and shrubs. They typically have a warm climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. These ecosystems are home to a diverse range of wildlife, including large herbivores like elephants and giraffes, as well as many predators. The vegetation is adapted to withstand periods of drought, and fires often play a natural role in maintaining the balance of plant types. Savannahs cover about one-fifth of the Earth's land surface and are crucial to the environmental and economic health of many regions.
