A savanna is a vegetation type characterized by an open tree canopy with scattered trees above a continuous layer of tall grasses. They are typically found in tropical regions 8Β° to 20Β° from the Equator. Savannas experience warm to hot temperatures year-round, with significant rainfall occurring only during a few months annually. The dry season is generally longer than the wet season. Savannas serve as transitional zones between rainforests and deserts and are home to diverse flora and fauna, including large grazing mammals and various invertebrates.
