Remember this!
Grassland and savanna are both types of biomes characterized by grasses and support a variety of herbivorous animals. However, the difference between grassland and savanna is their location, vegetation, rainfall, temperature, and wildlife. Grasslands are found in temperate regions, have few or no trees, receive moderate rainfall throughout the year, and are home to grazing animals. Savannas are found in tropical or subtropical regions, have a mix of grasses and trees, have distinct wet and dry seasons, have a higher temperature range, and are home to large herbivores such as elephants and giraffes.
