Mammals will be the largest group of species that live in the grasslands. In Africa, large herds of zebra, gazelle, and wildebeest migrate throughout the dry region in constant search of grass. This migration accounts for the few trees that are present on the African savanna. Other mammals that are present in the world's grasslands include kangaroo-like marsupials in Southern New Guinea, armadillos in South America, and bisons of America.
In order to live in the dry tropical/subtropical grasslands, the animals present will have to migrate in order to survive. Large herds of four-hooved animals dominate the African savanna, migrating hundreds of miles each year to find food and water holes in the dry season. Bisons also display this behavior, and will seek to migrate throughout the year. To survive in the dry land, animals will adapt in order to continue the life cycle.
