Savannas are tropical or subtropical ecosystems characterized by a mix of grasses and scattered trees. They occur in regions with distinct wet and dry seasons, supporting diverse wildlife adapted to periodic drought and fire. Savannas are home to large herbivores like elephants, zebras, and antelope, as well as predators such as lions and cheetahs. The open landscapes allow for wide visibility and grazing, while trees provide shade and food. Found across Africa, South America, Australia, and India, savannas play a vital role in biodiversity, carbon storage, and supporting human livelihoods through agriculture and grazing.
