Tropical savannas occupy an extensive range in northern South America through southeastern Venezuela and eastern Colombia. Temperate savannas are found in Paraguay, Uruguay, the Pampas of Argentina, and to the south, Patagonia. Savannas are composed of a combination of grass and tree species. The climate in these areas is often quite hot with high rates of evapotranspiration and a pronounced dry season. Most of the plants and animals of these zones are drought-adapted and fire-adapted. Tall grasses up to 12 ft (3.5 m) are common as are thorny trees of the Acacia (Fabaceae) family.
