Real parks and dive sites where wildlife from this ecosystem lives.
Tropical grasslands dotted with scattered trees, with sharply marked dry and rainy seasons. That cycle governs life: the rains concentrate green growth and breeding, while the drought forces wildlife to gather around waterholes or to move in great migrations. This is the habitat of the large herbivore herds and of the predators that follow them.
