Nile Crocodile

Nile crocodiles live in freshwater swamps, rivers, and lakes. They dig holes to get away from hot weather and danger. They only live in Africa and Madagascar.

The Nile Crocodile eats anything in water like fish, turtles, or birds. They also eat buffaloes, antelope, big cats, and sometimes people when given the chance. They are carnivores.

Their scales ooze moisture from their body and to help them survive in the hot weather. During times when not much food is around they can still survive without eating.

Koala Bear

Koalas live in the southeastern and eastern parts of Australia in the eucalyptus forest and woodlands. They spend most of their time wedged between forks in the trees

The only thing that Koalas eat are eucalyptus leaves. They are very poisonous to other animals They are Herbivores.

Koalas have feet well-adapted for their life in the trees They have rough “pads” and long claws to help them climb Their fur also changes colors from grey to brown depending on the season They also camouflage into the trees to help get out of the sight of predators

Lesser Flamingo

They live in Africa and since they are water birds they live in or around lagoons and lakes.

Blue-green and red algae They also eat shrimp for color and small fish They are omnivores.

Flamingos have long legs to help them go into deeper water When the flamingos need to rest they can sit down or stand on one leg They can turn there head to protect there feather from wind or rain

African Elephants

African Elephants live in savannas or grasslands. They walk around in the grass or dirt.

They eat grasses, fruits, tree leaves, bark, shrubs, and vines. They are herbivores.

There body size helps the elephant to make it harder for predators to eat The elephant has a small neck so there trunk helps them a lot it can reach up high and down low to get food.

Egyptian Mongoose

They live in shrub thickets, rocky areas, and small woodland areas in forests near water.

They eat rodents, fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, or larvae. They do eat fruit when given the chance. They are Carnivores.

Egyptian mongooses claws have adapted to digging that lets them dig bugs out of the ground. Their teeth have adapted to tearing the flesh of animals they eat. They can run backwards, roll over, swim and stand on two back feet. They can puff their hair up to look two times their size.

Chacma Baboon

They live in the woodland savannas or in highland grasslands.

Baboons eat fruit from trees, roots, plants, and bugs. They are omnivores.

The baboons have very sharp teeth to pretect them from predators. The baboons will gang up on a predator to scare it off

Giraffe

Giraffes live in the savannas of Africa, by the tall trees, arid land, dense forests and open plains.

Their long necks help giraffes eat leaves from tall trees, mostly acacia trees. They are herbivores.

Giraffes have an extra-large heart to pump blood up their necks to thier brain. A giraffe's heart is 2-3 times stronger than a human heart. Tough tongues let the giraffe pull leaves from branches without being hurt by the thorns during while they eat.

Cheetah

They like dry, open grasslands where they can pick up speed to kill prey.

A cheetah eats gazelles, wildebeest calves, impalas, and smaller hoofed animals in its habitat. Furthermore, cheetahs may eat rabbits, birds, hares, antelopes, and warthogs.

It is camouflage so it blends into the grass. It is also a fast runner to get out of predators way. They also have “tear- marks” To see out of the side of there heads

Warthog

. They are found in most of Africa. They are the only pigs able to live in areas without water for several months in a year.

The Warthog eats grass, fruit, berries, roots and insects but warthogs also eat small mammals, birds and reptiles.

They adapted their hearing so that they can hear better.’ They have eyes on the side of their head so that they can see if a predator is coming. They have very thin hair so they loose body heat quicker.

Abiotic features like fire can harm the savanna and its animals. The fires impact the Koalas a lot because there life is in the trees and the wildfire kills all the trees. Climate and rainfall impact to in the savanna. Water also helps the savanna by letting animals drink

Biotic factors like sand help the Nile crocodile to sunbathe. Other animals help other animals because animals eat animals like flamingos eat fish. Tall grass allows animals to hide from predators

The producers - the trees, shrubs and grass. The Primary Consumers – the zebras and elephants. The Secondary Consumers – the cheetah, hyena.

Decomposer are organisms that break down dead plants, animals and waste they release it as energy and nutrients. For example bacteria, fungi, termites
