tropical savana

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. Savannas are also known as tropical grasslands. They are found in a wide band on either side of the equator on the edges of tropical rainforests.The African savanna teems with hoofed mammals, such as gazelles, antelopes, and buffalo. Hoofed mammals, or ungulates, range nearly worldwide, and the majority of large mammals that live on the ground are ungulates. All ungulates have hooves designed for fast movement, and their digestive systems have adapted to feeding on large quantities of relatively non-nutritious vegetation, like grasses, leaves, flowers, seeds, and tree fruits.
