This region is home to a wide variety of species, including: lions, snakes, koalas, zebras, giraffes and antelopes. There are also rhinoceros, cheetahs, vultures, hyenas and crocodiles. Their migration habits keep them in contact with food and water sources year round, returning home when the rain brings back the vegetation.
They live in a relative temperature range of 78 to around 86 degrees during the warmer months. The colder months of the year bring a temperature of anywhere from 68 to 78 degrees. When the herds that feed on vegetation move in the dry months, the predators follow. The moist savannah offers these animals not only extremes of wet and dry, but the chance to survive if they follow the water.
