Biomes of the World Marine Salt Water Savanna Coniferous Forest

Grassland/ Savanna Name: Grassland/ Savanna Location: Temperate (Prairies) in North America; Tropical (Savannas) in Africa, Central Asia, between a tropical rain forest and a desert Climate: N. America – cold winters (below 0°F), hot summers (90°F), 25-30 in. of precipitation, mostly snow; Africa - warm & windy year round (70°F), wet in winter (25 in. of rain), dry in summer (4 in. of rain) Plants: N. America - tall grasses, milkweed, wild flowers, stinging nettle; Africa - tall grasses, acacia and baobab trees

What Disney movie takes place in the Grassland prairies in North America?

Grassland/ Savanna Animals: N. America - bison, elk, deer, rabbits, prairie dogs; Africa - elephants, zebras, giraffes, gazelles, buffalo, warthogs, wildebeests, hyenas, cheetahs, leopards, lions, baboons, many birds Biodiversity: variety of plant and animal species, plants have deep roots to sustain through droughts, different species eat different parts of the plants; grazing animals (herbivores) have long legs to migrate and eat on different grasses, carnivores hunt them, wide open plains are good for birds of prey (scavengers), prairie fires allow regrowth Human Impact: fertile soil used for farming, grasses used for grazing cattle and goats who don’t migrate so grasses are eaten up; overgrazing and farming turns it into a desert (desertification)
