Savannas are bodies of water generally located in the subtropical or tropical zones. In such places, the dry and rainy seasons alternate. This allows animals to withstand the high summer temperatures, which can reach 40-45°C during the day. During the day, the savanna is almost completely deserted. The animals hide in shadows and burrows and begin hunting in the late afternoon and early evening. The reason is simple: the temperature drops as the hours get later. Savannas are classified as wetlands, aridlands, and thorny areas. Depending on the region we can find different animals.
