Long Answer

Solution

Tropical grasslands (savannas) are dominated by large grazing herbivores and their predators, plus many birds, small mammals, and reptiles. Domestic livestock (cattle, sheep, goats, donkeys) are also common in human-use areas. savanna animals follow the seasonal rains and new grass growth. They move into areas with fresh pasture and water after the rains and leave when the grass dries up, and water becomes scarce, so migrations track food and water availability (and often breeding opportunities). These grasslands, therefore, show large seasonal migrations.
