What is a Savanna?
A savanna is a grassland ecosystem characterized by the trees being sufficiently widely spaced so that the canopy does not close. The open canopy allows sufficient light to reach the ground to support an unbroken herbaceous layer consisting primarily of grasses that annually lose their leaves and stems at the end of the growing season.

What is it like in the Savanna?
The Cerrado climate is typical of the rather moister savanna regions of the world, with a semi-humid tropical climate. The Cerrado is limited to two dominant seasons throughout the year, wet and dry. Annual temperatures for the Cerrado average between 22 and 27°C and average precipitation between only 800 to 2000 millimeters for over 90% of the area. This region of the world has a very strong dry season during the late winter lasting on average between the months of April and September).
