The savanna biome is a type of grassland biome, that is, an open area filled with grasslands and few trees. There are two types of savanna: tropical and semi-tropical. Because of the number and types of vegetation, fires are very common at different times of the year. In the rainy season, lightning creates natural fires. In the dry season, dry grasses are sensitive to the sun and burn.

Location
Except for Antarctica, this biome is present on all continents and extends over 20% of the earth's surface. The largest sheets are found in Africa and near the equator. Other sheet locations include:

Africa: Kenya, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa and Namibia.

Australia

Central America: Belize and Honduras

South America: Venezuela and Colombia

South Asia

Climate
The climate of the savanna depends on its season. In the wet season, it is warm and receives 50 inches (1.27 m) of rain. In the dry season, the climate is extremely hot and rainfall will be only four inches each month.

Wildlife
Animals such as elephants, giraffes, lions, and cheetahs make their homes in the savanna. Because of its open environment, camouflage, and mimicry are essential for animal survival in the savanna.  Due to variations in climate, many of the species migrate in the dry season, so most mammals have long, strong legs that help them travel long distances. The savanna is also home to small insects and reptiles that take refuge under the ground, such as beetles, grasshoppers, termites, snakes, and arachnids, among others.

Flora
The vegetation that inhabits the savannas has developed techniques to survive in times of drought and in soils with few nutrients. Many of the plant species of the savanna have roots that store water and are usually deep to capture nutrients from the soil. At other times, the seeds are very resistant to cold temperatures and lack of water.
In this type of ecosystem there are abundant shrubs, grasses, thorns, and bushes and some trees that are scattered across the landscape.

Location:
Among these are the Amazon and the Orinoco in South America, or the Congo in Africa and they are highly biodiverse freshwater biomes. They have complex ecological dynamics in relation to the tropical rain forests they cross.
Fauna:
In this river there are more than 3,000 species of fish, as well as various species of turtles and alligators. Likewise, there are aquatic mammals such as the river dolphin and the manatee.
Flora:
Sea grasses and algae and seaweed. Algae fall within the family of the most sophisticated plants. Algae and seaweeds manifest simple forms and are typically microscopic. Plants in the marine biome range from tiny, single-celled organisms to large, complex forms. Marine plants naturally grow near the surface of the water to harness sunlight for photosynthesis.
