The savannas and the steppes are the great grasslands of the Earth. Savanna grasslands lie between the tropical rainforests and the deserts in the northern as well as the southern hemispheres. Trees like the acacia and the water-storing baobab grow in the savannas. In addition to these plants, various animals like lions, cheetahs, hyenas as well as huge herds of zebras, gnus, giraffes, and antelopes are found here. Countless flamingos stand in the sea and one can see bald-headed vultures in the sky. In contrast, the steppe grasslands like the pampas of South America and prairies of North America are found in the middle of the continents. They are dry, devoid of trees, and cold in winter.
