Tropical Savannah
Biology Biome
Climate
The Tropical Savannah has two very different seasons that it goes through. The seasons are the wet season and the dry season.
The wet season is during the the summer time. It's very humid and rainy, and the temperature ranges from 68 to 86 degrees F and an average rainfall of 30-50 inches per year.
The dry seasons is during the winter time.
Plants
Adaptation
The Baobab trees store water between the bark and meat of the tree. The elephant's physical strength allows them to tear open the trunk and suck the water from it.
The animals migrate to other places in search of water until the rainy season begins again.
Ecological
Limiting Factors
Abiotic: warm temperatures, seasonal rainfall, hard soil, and frequent fire set by lightning
Biotic: drought, and vegetations that is dominated by different types of tall grasses.
Relationships
The predators are the big animals such as the cheetah, lions, and hyenahs. The prey would but giraffes, gazelles, baboons, zebras, and wildebeasts.
There is a lot of competition on the Savannah because there are a limited amount of resources.
