=African Grasslands (Savannas)= By:Elizabeth


 * ==About the grassland (Africa)== ||  ||
 * Africa is a beautiful flat place were all kinds of animals play and have freedom. There is only streams and rivers that contain water. So there is very little water. Luckily the water never dries up. Almost every animal in Africa eats grass so there is plenty food to go around the plain. Some of the animals like to bask in the sun. Some like to be shaded. Whatever you like I sure hope my page is one of them. || [[image:http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=94366&rendTypeId=4 width="363" height="239"]] ||



Animals

 * There is a little helpful animal. This animal is a meerkat. Meerkats are helpful because they mix up the soil and dig holes so water can travel through the ground. In the winter the go in there holes to hibernate. He would make a good gold digger. || [[image:http://eduscapes.com/lamb/merrkat.jpg]] ||

Plants

 * Isn't this flower beautiful? It is a African pink bud. It has a gas smell that will put you to sleep right away. What is really weird about the pink bud is that when it sways it begins to hiss. This is not a friendly plant.When he sprays the scent and you fall asleep almost nothing will wake you up. Hope you brought your pillow because its off to dreamland for you. || [[image:http://aswoasis.files.wordpress.com/2006/10/geranium3.jpg width="274" height="206"]] ||
 * This is a pretty weird looking flower. Am i right. It looks like that to scare off predators. It looks like a mutant flower. This flower has poison in its spikes. It may seem weird but that flower is actually edible. Don't eat it though. You'll be dead by then. When you go looking for this flower bring a shovel and coffin. || [[image:http://seedhead.com/media/batface.jpg width="174" height="174" caption="Bat Face"]] ||
 * Watch out! Don't touch that flower. This flower may be beautiful but it is very poisonous. If you touch it or eat it you will only choke and or faint. If you are looking for a center peace don't pick this flower. This is a rare African plant. It is called the African blue petunia. If you pick it might destroy the rest of your flowers by letting out a special liquid it is a very pretty plant though. I bet the bees will enjoy it in heaven better than sitting on that flower. || [[image:http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:NWvNAjFP18Uf4M:http://njhurst.com/%7Enatiel3/knitting/2006sept/garden_purplebulb.jpg width="158" height="105" link="http://njhurst.com/%7Enatiel3/knitting/2006sept/garden_purplebulb.jpg"]] ||
 * This plant is called firework. It is not deadly or poisonous yet. It will be in one thousand years after the next lunar eclipse thats about In three years. The firework plant is very soft inside but outside it almost impossible to open there is only one way to open a firework.....Cut it open with a chainsaw. "It gets loud in the lab with that saw going." Says explorer James .H.Haro. Well Mr.Haro all I can say is to bring your chain saw and some earmuffs. || [[image:http://www.carnivorousplants.org/seedbank/species/Images/D_natalensis.jpg width="203" height="182"]] ||
