African Savanna
The African Savanna is a tropical grassland. African Savannas get lots of rainfall. In the beginning of May is when the rainy seasons start. It ends in November, and they usually get about fifteen to twentyfive feet of rain a month. In the dry season they only get about four inches of rain. In the Northern hemisphere the dry season is from April to September. But in the the Southern hemisphere its from October to March. The African savanna comes in a wet-dry tropical climate. One way to define the African Savanna is a rolling grassland dotted with trees. The Savanna has many different kinds of plants such as acacia Senegal, candelabra tree, jackalberry tree, umbrella thorn acacia, whistling thorn, Bermuda grass, baobabs,

and elephant grass. Animal and plant have adapted to the living conditions of Africa. All the animals have many ways of finding food.
Annual rainfall
The african savanna has moderate temperature.
It never goes over 86 degrees fahrenheit and not going under 68 degrees fahrenheit. During the winter (the dry season) the temperature will range from 68 degrees to 78 degrees fahrenheit. During the summer (the wet season) temperatures range from 78 degrees to 88 and about 1 inch thick near the base. Umbrella Thorn Acacia grows in sand dunes and rocky grounds of Africa's grasslands. Acacia's grow in areas with annual rainfall as low as 4 cm. This tree can survive in 122° F temperatures during the day, and freezing temperatures at nights. Manketti Trees habitat is dotted with trees and does not receive enough rain to be considered a prairie. The manketti tree prefers hot and dry climates with low amounts of rain. It also prefers to grow in wooded hills and sand dunes. It has an upright manner of growth and is about 49 to 66 feet (15 to 20) meters tall. degrees fahrenheit. The plants that live in the savanna are equipped to survive in the savannas. There are many of them as well, like the Senegal Gum Acacia, Bermuda Grass, Elephant Grass, Umbrella Thorn Acacia, and the Manketti Tree.
This is the Umbrella Thorn Acacia, which is found in most
savannas.
The Senegal Gum Acacia is a small to average sized thorn tree found in the African Grassland Savanna. It can grow up to 20 meters tall. The flowers are yellow or cream colored and grow on spikes just above the thorns. These flowers turn into seed pods about 8 inches long and 2-3 inches wide. The Bermudagrass is one of the most sun loving warm season grasses. It grows in open areas where there are frequent disturbances such as grazing, flooding, and fire. It will turn brown at the first dip in temperature. In the more warmer tropical south Bermuda will retain a beautiful green color all year round. The Elephant grass is a tall grass that originally came from Africa. It grows in dense clumps of up to 10 feet tall. It grows along lake beds and rivers where the soil is rich. Local farmers cut the grass for their animals. The stems are coarse and hairy,
