Savanna Biome Knowledge Assessment

This video tutorial from Moomoomath and Science explores the savanna biome, characterized by large grasslands with scattered trees and shrubs. It discusses the savanna's warm climate, distinct dry and wet seasons, and its global locations, including Africa, Brazil, India, and Australia. The video highlights the flora and fauna, such as lions, zebras, and acacia trees, and explains plant adaptations to drought and fire. The role of fire in clearing old grasses for new growth is also covered.
