Lion adaptations: Their tan color allows lions to blend in with the savannas, open woodlands and deserts in which they live. Long, retractable claws help lions snare their prey, while rough tongues make it easy for them to peel back the skin of that prey and expose its meat. Lions primarily hunt hoofed animals, such as zebras and wildebeest, so they have developed loose skin on their bellies that protects them from the frantic kicks of their prey.
the lions with the largest mane is more likely to mate

adaptations: They have a specialized organ known as the vomeronasal Organ, or the Jacobson's Organ which is involved in the snake's chemical communication and in hunting prey.
They are located in the Black mambas live in the savannas and rocky hills of southern and eastern Africa.
They are Africa's longest venomous snake, reaching up to 14 feet in length, although 8.2 feet is more the average.

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
Adaptations: 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
