The
savannah is a grassy, windy, semi-dry biome. Grasses are the main form of plant
life on the savannah. Nearly one-fourth of the Earth's land area is composed
of grassland. Animals that live in savannahs include small creatures such as
grasshoppers and beetles to large animals like lions, giraffes and cheetahs.
There are many different names used throughout the world for the savannah including
grasslands, pampas, plains, steppes, and prairies.
