Detailed explanation-1: -One of the more spectacular sights in nature is the animals of the African Savanna. Because the savanna is so rich in grasses and tree life, many large herbivores (plant eaters) live here and congregate in large herds. These include zebras, wildebeests, elephants, giraffes, ostriches, gazelles, and buffalo.

Detailed explanation-2: -Habitat: Giraffes use both semi-arid savannah and savannah woodlands in Africa. Range: Giraffes are found in fragmented habitats scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Breeding: Giraffe pregnancy usually lasts about 15 months, with two-year intervals between births.

Detailed explanation-3: -This unique habitat is home to legendary animals like fast-paced cheetahs, long-necked giraffes, stripy zebras, enormous elephants, and animals you might have never heard of, like the aardvark. There are some 45 mammal species and 500 bird species found in the Savanna.

Detailed explanation-4: -These animals have a special job in savannas. They keep the savannas clear by eating shrubs and trees which helps the grass grow. This allows the many grazers on the savanna to survive. Today there are about 150, 000 elephants in the world.

Detailed explanation-5: -Savanna is grassland with scattered individual trees. Savannas of one sort or another cover almost half the surface of Africa (about five million square miles, generally central Africa) and large areas of Australia, South America, and India. Climate is the most important factor in creating a savanna.
