Tropical Grasslands

Another word for the tropical grasslands is called the Savanna.  It is important because it is the largest place where you will find 46% of land.  This is why it is very hard for them to sustain growing their own food in many locations.  You will find it in Africa and see that it is a third world country and in a big part of it is that the land they have to work with is very difficult for such survival.  When we think of the Savanna Biome, it is okay to think of hot and dry areas.  However, it may surprise you that there is a very hot and a very wet season.  The African Savanna is home to a wide variety of animals, such as: warthogs, elephants, rhinos, hyenas, starlings, and even ostriches.  Also, the Savanna is scattered with shrubs and isolated trees. which could be found between a tropical rain forest and desert biome.
