Transcript Animals In The Savanna - cooklowery14-15

By:Kaitlyn
Nile Crocodile
Nile crocodiles live in freshwater swamps ,
rivers, and lakes.
They dig holes to get away from hot
weather and danger.
They only live in Africa and Madagascar.
The Nile Crocodile eats anything in water
like fish, turtles, or birds.
They also eat buffaloes, antelope, big cats,
and sometimes people when given the
chance. They are carnivores.
Their scales ooze moisture from their body
and to help them survive in the hot
weather.
During times when not much food is
around they can still survive without
eating.
Koala
Bear
Koalas live in the southeastern and eastern
parts of Australia in the eucalyptus forest
and woodlands.
They spend most of their time wedged
between forks in the trees
The only thing that Koalas eat are
eucalyptus leaves.
They are very poisonous to other animals
They are
Herbivores.
Koalas have feet well-adapted for their life
in the trees
They have rough “pads” and long claws to
help them climb
Their fur also changes colors from grey to
brown depending on the season
They also camouflage into the trees to help
get out of the sight of predators
Lesser
Flamingo
They live in Africa and since they are water
birds they live in or around lagoons and
lakes.
Blue-green and red algae
They also eat shrimp for color and small
fish They are
omnivores.
Flamingos have long legs to help them go
into deeper water
When the flamingos need to rest they can
sit down or stand on one leg
They can turn there head to protect there
feather from wind or rain
African Elephants
African Elephants live in savannas or
grasslands. They walk around in the
grass or dirt.
They eat grasses, fruits, tree leaves, bark,
shrubs, and vines.
They are herbivores.
There body size helps the elephant to
make it harder for predators to eat
The elephant has a small neck so there
trunk helps them a lot it can reach up
high and down low to get food.
Egyptian Mongoose
They live in shrub thickets, rocky areas,
and small woodland areas in forests near
water.
They eat rodents, fish, birds, reptiles,
amphibians, or larvae. They do eat fruit
when given the chance.
They are
Carnivores.
Egyptian mongooses claws have adapted
to digging that lets them dig bugs out of
the ground. Their teeth have adapted to
tearing the flesh of animals they eat. They
can run backwards, roll over, swim and
stand on two back feet. They can puff
their hair up to look two times their size.
Chacma Baboon
They live in the woodland savannas or in
highland grasslands.
Baboons eat fruit from trees, roots, plants,
and bugs. They are omnivores.
The baboons have very sharp teeth to
pretect them from predators.
The baboons will gang up on a predator to
scare it off
Giraffe
Giraffes live in the savannas of Africa, by
the tall trees, arid land, dense forests and
open plains.
Their long necks help giraffes eat leaves
from tall trees, mostly acacia trees. They
are herbivores.
Giraffes have an extra-large heart to pump
blood up their necks to thier brain. A
giraffe's heart is 2-3 times stronger than a
human heart.
Tough tongues let the giraffe pull leaves
from branches without being hurt by the
thorns during while they eat.
Cheetah
They like dry, open grasslands where they
can pick up speed to kill prey.
A cheetah eats gazelles, wildebeest calves,
impalas, and smaller hoofed animals in
its habitat. Furthermore, cheetahs may
eat rabbits, birds, hares, antelopes, and
warthogs.
It is camouflage so it blends into the grass.
It is also a fast runner to get out of
predators way. They also have “tearmarks”
To see out of the side of there heads
Warthog
. They are found in most of Africa. They are
the only pigs able to live in areas without
water for several months in a year.
The Warthog eats grass, fruit, berries, roots
and insects but warthogs also eat small
mammals, birds and reptiles.
They adapted their hearing so that they
can hear better.’
They have eyes on the side of their head
so that they can see if a predator is
coming.
They have very thin hair so they loose
body heat quicker.
Abiotic features like fire can harm the
savanna and its animals. The fires impact
the Koalas a lot because there life is in
the trees and the wildfire kills all the
trees.
Climate and rainfall impact to in the
savanna.
Water also helps the savanna by letting
animals drink
Biotic factors like sand help the Nile
crocodile to sunbathe.
Other animals help other animals because
animals eat animals like flamingos eat
fish.
Tall grass allows animals to hide from
predators
The producers - the trees, shrubs and grass.
The Primary Consumers – the zebras and elephants.
The Secondary Consumers – the cheetah, hyena.
Caracal
Mongoose
Mouse Dung Beetle Termite
Red Oat Grass
Decomposer are organisms that break
down dead plants, animals and waste
they release it as energy and nutrients .
For example bacteria, fungi, termites
