Not wet enough to support a forest, but it is wet enough to support a rolling grassland and isolated trees]]> 2019-09-16 12:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/384621680 andrewtucker https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/384626041 The climate has two distinct seasons, a dry season, which is in the winter, and a wet season, which is in the summer months]]> 2019-09-16 12:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/384626041 andrewtucker https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/385247456 a savanna is located between 15 and 30 degrees latitude. The altitude can vary from sea level to 2km above sea level. This affects the climate by making it drier in some areas.]]> 2019-09-17 12:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/385247456 andrewtucker https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/385540595 The savanna for the most part is flat, with mountains providing the additional altitude. The fact that savannas are close to the equator is why they get sunlight year round and allow grasses to grow tall.]]> 2019-09-17 18:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/385540595 andrewtucker https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/385873150 Elephant grass: This plant tends to grow near river beds where the soil is moist. It grows in 10 ft. clumps with sharp edges. It reproduces with shoots.
Baobab: A tree that looks like it grew upside down. It's cork-like trunk stores water for the dry season.
Both plants keep close to the equator
African Elephant: These giant mammals have thick gray skin to protect from predator attacks. They are extremely social, and keep close to related elephants. They live in the savanna because of the large amount of food.
Egyptian Mongoose: The largest of African mongooses, they live underground. They are shy and only leave the burrows for food, being an omnivorous diet. They prefer wooded areas near water.]]> 2019-09-18 12:22:57 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/385873150 andrewtucker https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/385892807 2019-09-18 12:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/385892807 andrewtucker https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/385919034 Aardwolf- has a long tongue to eat insects, as well as ward off predators by producing a fowl stench.]]> 2019-09-18 13:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/385919034 andrewtucker https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/385919039 Elephant grass has razor sharp edges to prevent being eaten, as well as growing near river beds to suit their soil needs.]]> 2019-09-18 13:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/385919039 andrewtucker https://padlet.com/andrewtucker/braw79c6jpnt/wish/385919204 Elephant- has thick skin to repel predator bites. It also follows the rains during the dry season.
