Plants Animals Climate Australian Tropical Savanna African Savanna A savanna is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees, which can be found between a tropical rainforest and desert biome.Not enough rain falls on a savanna to support forests.here are actually two very different seasons in a savanna; a very long dry season (winter), and a very wet season (summer). In the dry season only an average of about 4 inches of rain falls. Between December and February no rain will fall at all. Oddly enough, it is actually a little cooler during this dry season.
Because of the availability of grass in the savanna, there are many grazing animals who take advantage of this abundant food supply. The savanna biome is rich with herbivores such as elephants, zebras, gazelles, and buffalo. The largest part of the savanna biome is located in Africa. Almost half of Africa is considered a savanna. Because of the extended periods of wet and dry climate in the savanna biome, the availability of food changes throughout the year. Some animals go so long without water during the dry season that they barely make it alive to the wet season. The savanna biome receives about 59 inches of rain.
