The Savanna Biome By Bryton Tori Taylor Mrs..Studebakers Class

Savanna Biome Have you ever heard of a biome? It is a large ecosystem. The are eight major biomes on planet Earth. One of them that we found interesting is the savanna biome. The animals, plants, and climate make this biome unique.

Savanna The location of the savanna biome that my group learned about is in Southern Africa. The climate here stays the same for a long time. Rainfall each month varies.

Climate Sometimes it rains, sometimes it doesn’t. There are only two seasons in a savanna. There’s a wet summer and dry winter season in the savanna biome.

Wet and Dry Seasons In the wet season all of the plants are thick and the rivers flow freely. It is colder in the dry seasons. The rainy seasons usually start in May. The savanna climate has a temperature range of 68 degrees.

Plants-Kangaroo Paw There are a multitude of plants that make the Savanna Biome come to life. The Kangaroo Paw is unscented, grows in Western Australia, and it also only grows up to 10cm tall!

Palm Tree Palm Tree. This plant needs deep soil, is a shelter for may plants, and also roots reach way down into the soil.
