Shrubs generally occur within the savanna near sources of water and along the slopes of hills. Sickle Bush (Dichrostachys cinerea) is one of the most common shrubs in the savanna, found along brackish waterways and in roadside ditches. It is a small, densely matted bush growing to 6 feet in height with feathery foliage and spiny branches. Several species of raisin bush (Grewia) are also commonly found near seasonal and permanent watersheds in the savanna. White raisin bush (G. bicolor) is identifiable by its large, hairy leaves and yellow, star-shaped flowers. It is named for its fruit, which resemble reddish-brown raisins when ripe. Sandpaper raisin (G. flavescens) superficially resembles other members of the genus, although its fruit ripens later in the year, from March until July. Buffalo thorn (Ziziphus mucronata) is a large shrub known for its distinctive zig-zag shaped twigs and shiny, light-green leaves. It is found in sandy soil and open woodland, as well as along seasonal riverbeds.

The African savanna is a vast, rolling grassland primarily found in the southeastern part of the continent. It is a tertiary ecosystem, meaning that it is found between tropical and desert landscapes, featuring mainly shrubs and isolated trees. Although plant life in the savanna is mainly...

A tropical wet and dry climate predominates in areas covered by savanna growth. Mean monthly temperatures are at or above 64° F and annual precipitation averages between 30 and 50 inches. For at least five months of the year, during the dry season, less than 4 inches a month are received

The acacia and baobab trees are common in African savannas. In order for the grasses to survive the dry season and the periodic fires, they have developed an adaptation that allows them to grow quickly when there is adequate water. Then when water becomes scarce, the grasses turn brown to limit water loss

African wild dogs are expert hunters. They prefer wildebeest and medium-size antelopes, including impala, greater kudu, springbok, Thomson's gazelles. Although impalas make up the majority of their diet, what they eat depends on where they live.

They are found in dense forests, open woodlands and also savannas. They eat leaves, roots, fruits, grasses, and even bark. African elephants use their trunks to make loud sounds to scare predators away. They can also use their trunks and tusks.

The Baobab tree is a plain leafless tree. There are many myths about how this came to be. One of the many myths of how out of the twelve months in a year there are only three months with the expected vibrant leaves. One of the simpler myths is how the devil plucked it's root out of the ground and placed it back but upside down. A simpler myth is " The baobab was among the first trees to appear on the land. Next came the slender, graceful palm tree. When the baobab saw the palm tree, it cried out that it wanted to be taller. Then the beautiful flame tree appeared with its red flower and the baobab was envious for flower blossoms. When the baobab saw the magnificent fig tree, it prayed for fruit as well. The gods became angry with the tree and pulled it up by its roots, then replanted it upside down to keep it quiet." Which is a very long myth i must say, and I am having second thoughts about it. But of the myths I thought this was the most interesting

The baobab tree is the iconic tree of the African Sahara. It is readily recognized by its enormous trunk and, by comparison, scrawny stems and twigs. It's a source of many legends among the tribes of the area, and is also a rich source of traditional medicine. In a land where rainfall is limited and it is rare to find even tiny bushes, the gigantic baobab tree thrives. It is able to do so due to a number of unique adaptations that it has perfected over the course of its evolution.

Besides it height and girth, the baobab is also distinct due to its shiny and slick outer bark. This unique adaptation allows the baobab tree to reflect light and heat, keeping it cool in the intense savanna sun. The slippery skin is also useful in keeping monkeys, elephants and other small herbivores from climbing it and eating its tender leaves and flowers. It is also believed that the reflective nature of the bark may aid in protecting the tree from the effects of wildfires.

Spongy bark also allows the baobab tree conserve water. The bark of the baobab is more porous than regular wood, making it able to absorb moisture like a sponge. This allows the tree to absorb as much water as possible in times of rain and store it for use during times of scarcity or drought.

The baobab tree blooms pretty white flowers. However, get too close and you are in for a surprise -- the flowers of the baobab emit a stinky smell, a smell that resembles rotting meat. This unique adaptation helps the baobab to reproduce effectively by attracting its main pollinator, the fruit bat. Flies, ants and moths also find the carrion-like smell of the baobab attractive. All of these creatures help to spread the pollen of the baobab from tree to tree, allowing it to spread quickly throughout the African savanna.

The baobab tree has adapted its stems to catch every bit of water it can, from morning dew to summer downpours. Its stems form "u" like funnels, allowing water to channel into holding canals so the plant has time to soak it all in over the course of a day. Insects, birds and humans find this adaptation useful as well, especially when water is scarce.

The Warthog has adapted to be able to survive by grazing along the areas of the savanna. They rely on their snout to help them get food and they also use their front and back legs to dig
