The winter in the grasslands is very dry.

The plants dry up and die. Hardly any

rain falls. The temperature is between

20 and 25 degrees.

Summer in the grasslands is the wet

season. Between 10 to 30 inches of

rain falls. The temperature is

usually between 25 and 30 degrees.

Gazelles belong to the Antelope family . Some

gazelles have two large horns at the top of their head.

Gazelles can run at short burst of nearly 97kms an

hour. There are 13 different species of gazelles,

however four of them are extinct. A Gazelles diet

mainly consists of plants, and they weigh 12-75kgs,

and they are roughly between 59- 109cms tall.

There are lots of plants in the grasslands, and here are just some

of them:

Umbrella tree

Wild date palm

Strangle fig

Sausage tree

Redgrass

Commlipohora

Indian grass

Big blue stem

Little blue stem

Yellow fever tree

And LOTS more

There are lots of plants in the grasslands, ranging

from, big trees like the Acacia tee, to little plants

like Kangaroo paw.50% of all plants in the

grasslands are grass, making it the most

commonly found plant there. They can even

survive bush fires, unlike most trees which would

get destroyed. Trees are not very common in the

grasslands, but you will still see them.
