Savanna Biome
• Have you ever heard of a biome? It is a
large ecosystem. The are eight major
biomes on planet Earth. One of them that
we found interesting is the savanna biome.
The animals, plants, and climate make this
biome unique.
Savanna
•
• The location of the
savanna biome that my
group learned about is
in Southern Africa.
The climate here stays
the same for a long
time. Rainfall each
month varies.
Climate
• Sometimes it rains,
sometimes it doesn’t.
There are only two
seasons in a savanna.
There’s a wet summer
and dry winter season
in the savanna biome.
Wet and Dry Seasons
• In the wet season all
of the plants are thick
and the rivers flow
freely. It is colder in
the dry seasons. The
rainy seasons usually
start in May. The
savanna climate has a
temperature range of
68 degrees.
Plants-Kangaroo Paw
• There are a multitude
of plants that make the
Savanna Biome come
to life. The Kangaroo
Paw is unscented,
grows in Western
Australia, and it also
only grows up to 10cm
tall!
Palm Tree
• Palm Tree. This plant
needs deep soil, is a
shelter for may plants,
and also roots reach
way down into the
soil.
River bush Willow
• The River Bushwillow
is a member of the
Combretace family,
Another name for this
tree is the Hippcup
Nut. It is found in the
Savanna Biomes in
Africa, and it grows
along rivers
Whistling Thorn Tree
• The Whistling thorn
tree grows in the
Savanna biomes in
East Africa, it can
grow up to 18 feet tall,
the thorns grow up to
3 in. long, and it’s also
home to Stinging Ants.
Baobab Tree
• The Baobab tree. This
tree only grows leaves
in the wet season, it’s
able to store water in
its trunk, and it also
has leaves that are like
fingers.
Animals-Zebra
• There are a multitude
of animals living in
the Savannah biome.
Zebras call this biome
home. They graze on
the grasses of the
Savannah.
Elephant-Giraffe-Baboon
• A elephant lives there
because the food he
eats is only in the
Savannah areas. A
giraffe uses his long
neck to survive. A
baboon survives there
because of that’s were
the baboon are
originally from.
Karakul-Kangaroo-Wild Dog
• . The Karakul lives
there because the food
it eats is the Kangaroo
plant. The African
Wild dog lives here
because the food it
eats is there. The food
it eats is the Gum
Tree.
Many plants and animals call this biome their home. The savanna biome is
filled with life!
