South Africa

Breeze rustles the dry grass on the high veld under clear skies. It's winter on the South African savanna, but the mild days still bustle with life, in spite of this being the dry season. Water, the ultimate limiting factor, has driven the evolution of a great diversity of life that inhabits this region. The savanna in particular, with its mix of grasses and woody plants, provides a banquet for herbivores, both grazers and browsers, which in turn feed predators large and small.
