The Tropical Grasslands are large biomes usually consisting of dry savannas. It does not rain enough to support forests, but usually sparse patches of trees can be found. Many animals dwell there, including lions, zebras, rhinos, hippos, and many more, depending on where the biome is. The Tropical Grasslands are mostly in central Asia, central Africa, and Central South America.

# data[].attributes.body
Tropical Grasslands get an average of between 20 and 50 centimeters of precipitation per year. The average temperature ranges from between 20 degrees celcius and 40 degrees celcius, or between 70 and 100 degrees fahrenheit. The tropical grasslands cover many areas, but the largest areas are in Central Africa and Central Asia, as well as smaller areas covering parts of South America, Australia, and North America.

Sustained Damage: The Tropical Grassland has been damaged by global warming, as the rising temperatures make the areas less and less habitable to less tolerant plants and animals. Many animals are also being killed illegally by poachers selling exotic animal products

Ways to protect it: Do not purchase any ivory or exotic- pelt items, as they are likely illegally poached from illegal hunting methods in the Tropical Grasslands. Reduce your carbon footprint as well, so that the environment of the grasslands can still be habitable to the myriad of organisms.

Gum Tree: The gum tree has adapted to have a much thicker sap than other trees. This has a few reasons. The first is to keep animals from burrowing into its trunk, keeping the tree alive much longer. The second is to keep animals from eating the tree sap, because the gum- like sap is difficult to eat.

Baobab: The Baobab tree has adapted to have a really thick trunk so that it can conserve water. It allows it to lose less water from the heat and the sun.

Scutch Grass: This is a short grass that resembles wheat in some are, that grows in patches in cooler, shadier areas.

Gum Tree: The Gum Tree is a thin tree with vein- looking branches and a normal spread and amount of leaves, but what makes it special is its sap. The sap of the gum tree is almost solid, and chewy, like chewing gum.

Baobab: This is a very strange tree that has thin leaf spread and a very fat trunk. It grows large fruits that many animals hunt for. It has adapted this strange trunk so that it can store more water and use les in the hot, arid climate

Acacia: This is a tree that grows in warm climates. It grows leaves out in a wide radius from the tree, providing shelter for many animals. It spreads so far that they must grow far from each other so as not to compete with each other

Giraffe- The Giraffe has adapted a very long neck so that it can reach leaves and fruit that are too high up for other animals to reach. It is a good adaptation because it gives more options for obtainable food.

Cheetah-  The cheetah has adapted to both have very fast running speeds and great camouflage to blend in with the grasses. Both are great for efficient hunting.

Noneconomic: The Tropical Grasslands are covered in plants, providing millions of tons of oxygen to the atmosphere, and helps to try and keep the CO2 levels of the atmosphere in check.

Economic: Many people can farm in the nutrient- rich soil in the Grasslands. Hunting the many animals there is also very profitable

Rhinoceros- This animal has the hide and shape of an elephant- but instead of a trunk, this animal has a large horn on its nose.

In the below food chain, the sun is the source of energy, as it always is. The grasses are the producers because they convert the sunlight to energy, the zebras are the Primary Consumers, because they eat the plants that convert sunlight to energy. The Lion is the Tertiary Consumer, because it eats the lower organisms and is at the top of the food chain. The termites and fungi are the decomposers, or detritivores, because they break down all of the organisms mentioned before after they died.

Bermuda Grass: This is a thinner, usually short grass that grows in many biomes around the world.

Giraffe- This animal is not hard to spot, as its long neck stretches almost 5 meters into the air, an adaptation to let it reach tall leaves.

Zebra- A close relative of the horse, the zebra travels in packs, with a strange black- and - white striped camouflage covering it.

# data[].attributes.body
Cheetah- This is a very fast and agile predator. This cat has an orange body with black spots- perfect camouflage for a predator waiting for gullible prey.

Elephant- This is a large animal with a thick hide and even thicker tusks. The also have a strong trunk for drinking as well as lifting things.
