Animals
Many animals live in the Savanna some examples of those are bison, zebras, antelopes, hyenas, gophers, elephants, zebras, lions, moles and many more. Most of the animals have long legs or wings (for the birds) to be able to go on long migrations. A lot of the mammals in the Savanna are herbivores and can survive just by eating different types of grasses. There are a lot of carnivores too and they eat the animals that are herbivores.
An African elephant is one of the most important animals in the savanna because they can convert a dense woodland into an open grassland in a very short amount of time, another important job is that they keep the savanna clear by eating shrubs and trees. The savanna's elephants are herbivores and feed on grasses, fruits, tree leaves, bark, shrubs and vines. They live for about seventy years. Today there are about 150,000 in the world they are endangered because poachers and hunters try to kill them for their ivory tusks.
Cheetas
Cheeta's are carnivores that live in the savanna & also many other places. These animals eat meat (which means other animals!)
Zebra
Zebras also live in the savanna, but they are herbivores, which means they eat many kinds of plants. They are prey to carnivores which are animals that eat other animals, like the cheeta
Elephant
Elephants are also herbivores, and they are prey to many carnivores like the Lion
