Savanna Biome

Savannah Biome and The Tigers Who Inhabit It By Tannon Williams

Mr. Stevenson

My Biome of choice is a Savanna. A Savanna biome has both a wet and dry climate. This intern gives my biome a tropical climate. In my Savanna there is a dry season during winter month and the wet season during the summer months. During any dry and winter season, most of the plant life will wither and die, and this is also the case in my Savanna Biome. Due to the lack of rain fall in the dry season some lakes and streams dry up. Therefore, most of the animals in the Savanah need to migrate to find food.

In the Savanna during the wet season, all of the plants are growing freely and at an enormous rate. It rains often during the wet season so the lakes and streams are flowing. The animals that migrated away during the dry season all return back to

The tiger is the largest member of the cat family. Most tigers have thick reddish coats with white bellies and white and black tails. They have narrow black, brown or gray stripes that cover them head to toe. Tigers are more active at night which makes them Nocturnal. At night it is easier to hunt. Tigers are predators that rely on the camouflage their stripes provide to ambush the prey. Tigers use their body weight to take down their prey and kill with a bite to the neck. Since tigers are good swimmers they have been known to kill prey while swimming.

In my Savanna biome, the tigers will survive by eating deer, wild pigs, water buffalo, antelope, monkey, Zebra, and Emu. Because tigers are solitary animals they are able to hunt and kill prey for its survival alone. Tigers do not run in a pack to support themselves. The tigers in my Savanna will have one kill every nine days during the dry season. Which means their prey will be large enough to provide up to 40 of meat in one sitting. This allows my Tigers the option to not need to migrate if at all
