A Recap of the Savanna

November 18, 2013
Riding through the rolling savanna, I was the witness to things I've only encountered in books. According to www.blueplanetbiomes.org, it's common to spot giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, even hyenas. Herbivores are usually grazing on the plains and every so often, a carnivore dashes through and claims its prey. I unfortunately watched as the bystander.
In terms of the flora and the fauna, the warm temperatures as well as set wet and dry seasons make for relatively fertile soil that welcome agriculture. The trees here are adapted to manage during the dry period of the year, thus making them tropically deciduous. Overall, the land is covered in grass fields that stretch for miles and miles, and make for grazing gold to herbivores.
