Savanna Grasslands Animals Food Chain. These are primary consumers are then in turn eaten by secondary consumers such as cheetahs, hyenas or lions. Mushrooms, insects, and microorganisms decomposers use what the scavengers left over.
The graph below shows average monthly temperatures and rainfall levels in the savanna region of mali. Producers that are in these food chains are star grass, shrubs, and trees. They absorb the heat and rays of the sun and start making food through photosynthesis.
The source of energy contained in the food web is the sun.
Fluctuations, or variation, of either herbivores and carnivores can affect the other. Zebras, antelopes, gazelles, gnus, elephants, giraffes and many species of insects are herbivores, meaning that they eat plants exclusively. At the top of the food chain, lions play a vital role in thinning herds of older and weaker animals that would otherwise be consuming scarce resources healthier animals need to stay strong. This creature has the potential to lower the biodiversity of the tropical grasslands.
