The savanna is home to many animals. You may think of the African savanna as a grassland and a really dry climate, but did you know half of Africa is tropical. Most animals who live in the savanna will sleep under trees or borrow a hole. The temperature is really hot it can go up to 68-86 degrees Fahrenheit and 25-30 Celsius. This may be because it's in the middle of the equator. South America is also on the equator and is tropical. Even though Africa has a tropical climate its surprising that all of the country's and continent on the equator are tropical.
