Savanna (alternate sp. savannah) is grassland biome located at tropical latitudes. It is much drier than most tropical forest. Rainfall on savanna is between 50 and 150 centimeters (20 to 60 inches) a year, and can be very seasonal, with the entire year's rainfall sometimes occuring within a couple of weeks.

Savannas dominate the continent of Africa, and are also found in India and the northern part of South America.
