Concept in Definition ABC

The savannah is a geographic space o ecosystem characterized by having a weather arid and dry and a vegetation sparse and unevenly scattered without forming large clumps of shrubs or trees. The savannah is characteristic of some regions of the planet, especially in different parts of Africa where the natural territories are maintained and where we find a large part of the most recognized wild animals such as the giraffe, the elephant, the buffalo and the big cats. We can also find savannas in some regions of North America and Asia.

The savannah could be described as an area of ​​low grass and shrubs in which the vegetation is not abundant or is low in height. The I usually is normally covered with vegetation (unlike deserts or the tundra) but never reaches an abundant role in the scenery. At the same time, the larger and taller trees appear sparsely and without continuity, as well as having small and not extremely prolific crowns.

Another important characteristic of the savanna is that the

precipitation it remains at a low level, which obviously affects the presence of abundant vegetation. The soils are not usually extremely fertile and that is why the human being has not advanced on these lands with productive objectives. The climate of the savannah is generally dry, with warm and hot seasons but also with amplitude thermal.

Savannas are spaces in which animals do not have many spaces to protect themselves from predators due to the lack of vegetation. This is why most herbivorous mammals (feline prey and other animals) are managed in herds of many members in order to minimize the aggressions and possible attacks of their predators.
