the tall coarse grasses in the savannas help the animals to themselves
Answers
The savanna is characterized by its variety of grasses. However, it is not the lush grasses of grasslands that extend as far as the eye can see. Instead, the grasses are often in thick clumps with bare ground and shrubs in between.
There are many types of grasses in the savanna, such as Rhodes grass, red oats grass and lemon grass. The Bermuda grass that many plant in their lawns is native to the African savanna as is elephant grass, which can grow 10 feet (3 m) tall. Because the rainfall only lasts about half the year, it is difficult for trees to grow in savannas, but it’s not impossible.
The umbrella-shaped acacia tree, which grows tall and flowers at the top where only giraffes can reach, is seen throughout the savanna. The baobab tree also grows there, growing as high as 25 feet and living for up to 1,000 years.Plants need rain to survive. So what happens when it doesn’t rain at all for six months? Well, plants in the savanna have developed defenses for this. Many plants have roots that grow deep in the ground, where the most water can be found. This defense also allows the plant to survive fires because the root is undamaged and can regrow after the fire.
