Where is my biome? Africa, central and North,South America, India, Southern Asia, Madagascar, Australia.

A little bit about my biome The savanna is located all through out the world in 4 continents. Savannahs tend to have long dry winters and wet summers. When it comes to vegetation savannahs contain shrubs and isolated trees, many think of it as a tropical grassland.

Rainfall in my biome. In the wet season(summer) all of the plants are lush and the rivers flow freely. The animals migrate back to graze. The average rainfall of my biome is 15 to 20 inches during the wet season(summer)

Latitude/Altitude Savannahs are found in the near the equator in the lower latitudes. The altitudes does vary in different place where savanna is located.

5 examples of plants in my biome 1- Bermuda grass, adapted to grow in poor soil. 2-Baobab a usually tall but leafless tree, stores water. 3-whisitling thorn acacia, adapts by giving a home to ants, these ants the protect the tree. 4-Jarrah tree adapt by being able to grow in multiple soils. 5-The candelabra tree has adapted by creating poisonous sap to prevent from animals from feeding on it.

Five herbivores of the savanna Koala bear: has adapted a strong immune system so that it may eat poisonous plants. Grant zebra: travels in herds to confuse predators and confuse them. Nigriceps ants: has adapted by living in Thorne trees to protect them from hostilities. Emu: can run very fasts because they have three specially adapted toes. Wildebeest: have very sharp horns to fight and defend with.

Five carnivores of the savanna African wild dogs: they have adapted to eat small bugs and rodents, instead of large game which is harder to bring down. Lions: they have adapted by living in prides or groups to help hunt and feed the young and old. Nile Crocodile: has adapted by being able to be in land and in water. This allows for them to hunt both land and river creatures. Black mamba: has adapted by being very fast, traveling in groups or pairs and they are very difficult to kill and have only habitat destruction as an enemy. There venom is 100% deadly. Egyptian mongoose: have adapted by having teeth that are designed to rip apart there preys flesh. They also can puff out fur to appear twice there size.

ECOLOGICAL PYRAMID

Examples Predator/prey Lion and the zebra. Parasitism-mosquitos drinking the blood of a elephant. Competition- a group of lionesses may bring down a wildebeest, then a group of hyenas may move in to take the dead wildebeest. Mutualism- The acacia tree has developed long, sharp thorns and a symbiotic relationship with stinging ants. The ants live in acacia thorns they have hollowed out, and they feed on the nectar produced by the tree. When an animal takes a bite of leaves (and thorns), it also gets a mouthful of angry, stinging ants. The ants defend their homes from other insects as well, thus protecting the acacia tree.

What are some benefits of our biome and why should we preserve it. First off, the savanna is a beautiful biome with beautiful animals roaming the untouched and wild land. It is the epitome of the remaining wild places on this planet. It is home to some awesome animals, that other biomes don’t have for example the lion, it’s a god like creature that has strength and beauty. Or the rhino completely different from the lion it has a body built like concrete and it is will not back down from a fight, even with a lion. Why should we save the savanna? And what threatens it? Poaching I believe is the biggest threat to our biome, its killing amazing animals that aren't you average deer. These animals are having to deal with survival in a tough biome already, so why should we go around killing the few who can survive? We can preserve it by hunting the hunters with law, get some real force in our biome to scare poachers and we can save animals from going extinct.
