What are some symbiotic relationships that occur in the savanna biome?

The acacia tree has developed long, sharp thorns and a symbiotic relationship with stinging ants. The ants live in acacia thorns they have hollowed out, and they feed on the nectar produced by the tree. When an animal takes a bite of leaves (and thorns), it also gets a mouthful of angry, stinging ants. The ants defend their homes from other insects as well, thus protecting the acacia tree.

Is that useful?

On my savanna project for school I have to do a powerpoint and I have already got it done and now I need help on facts about savanna but my slide show are Animals, plants, climate, and facts about savanna and it has to be 5 to 10 min

Wait what??

What??

SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP #1

Mutalism: Hyenas in the tropical savanna depend on lions for food. The hyenas are scavengers, which basically means that they eat the remains of animals already killed by another. When the lions are done eating and are full, they leave the dead animal carcass where they killed it and return to their dean. When the lions leave the hyenas attack whatever is left of the dead animal. The lion kills, eats, and leaves whatever is left for its neighbors.



SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP #2

Commensalism: Many birds rely upon insects which are disturbed from vegetation by movements of large grazers, particularly elephants. The insects are quickly caught by sharp-eyed oxpeckers and bee-eaters. Other birds follow at more calmly pace, to make meals of insects and larvae attracted to the herbivores dung. The birds benefit from the activities of elephants but do not affect the huge mammals in any way.

Giraffe && tickbirds:
Ride on Giraffes backs eating pesky insects off its skin. In return for food, the birds serve as a warning signal, alerting giraffes to any approaching predators with a loud chirp

Your a nerd

mushroom (fungus) + tree = commensionalism
