Geographical features and other facts
* About 2 million large plant-eating mammals live in the savanna.
* There are 45 types of mammals
* There are about 500 species of birds.
* There are around 55 species of acacia.
* The African savanna have the largest diversity of hoofed animals in the world.
* Tropical grasslands are usually located near the equator they lay between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
*The soil of tropical grasslands is leaky, with rapid drainage of water.
*It has a skinny layer of decomposed leaves and other plant material which provides vegetation with nutrients.
*About 16 percent of tropical grasslands have been changed for urban and agriculture development.
* The largest part of the savanna is located in Africa.
*Almost half of Africa is considered savanna.
* In the savanna all the animals and plants are dependent upon each other for food supply. If one of the species of animal extinct the entire ecosystem would change.
* In some areas between the grassland rock structures are found, such as Kopjes and Monadnock.
* Kopjes is a metamorphic rock with a layer of volcanic rock on top. It gives protection from grassfires, stores water in the ground and provides caves or hiding places for animals. Kopjes also support many plant species.
*Monadnocks are isolated hills found in some African tropical savannas.
