The Green Regions on the Map Indicate Savanna Biomes (2)

Kruger National Park can be classified as a savanna biome. A biome is the largest ecological unit and is described by climatic and soil conditions. A savanna specifically has a tropical/subtropical grassland landscape. Savannas often occur as transitional ecosystems between rain forests and deserts. Savannas do not get enough rain to support forests, but they get more rain than deserts. The rainfall that does occur on savannas is seasonal and the animals usually respond to the seasonality. Kruger National Park is very large and it supports many overlapping ecosystems. An ecosystem is a major interacting system that includes organisms and their nonliving environment. The major focus of this website will be on terrestrial mammals and their interactions with one another inside the ecosystem.
