Hello our name's are Ashley, Hailey, Danielle and Theresa we are here to tell you about why you should take a trip to a Savannah!
If you're lucky you might have a chance to go on a safari! You might see families of animals (see photo to the left)! You might see lions on the prowl, impalas grazing or elephants wallowing.
now let's see the work of the zoologist!
now here comes the weather
The Savanna biome has a wet/dry climate. Its the tropical climate, and the dry season in the winter. In the savanna climate there is a distinct dry season, which is in the winter. Savannas get all their rain in the summer months. During the distinct dry season of a savanna, most of the plants shrivel up and die. Some rivers and streams dry up. Most of the animals migrate to find food. In the wet season all of the plants are lush and the rivers flow freely. The animals migrate back to graze. In West Africa the rainy season begins in May. It is usually cooler during the dry season by a few degrees. Because it is in the tropical latitudes that is still hot enough. The savanna climate has a temperature range of 68° to 86° F. In the winter, it is usually about 68° to 78° In the summer the temperature ranges from 78° to 86° F In a Savanna the temperature does not change a lot. When it does, its very gradual and not drastic. There is an annual precipitation of 10 to 30 inches of rain. From December to February hardly any rain falls at all.
