Acacia
(Acacia trees have the spreading crown that is a distinctive characteristic)
Acacia trees grows in a wet/dry tropical climate such as the African Savanna. The umbrella thorn acacia has the umbrella shaped foilage that is in Africa landscapes. This tree can survive 100 degree days and below freezing nights. They have sharp thorns that come in pairs. These trees survive in a climate that sees to 5 to 11 months of droughts.
Eucalyptus
(The jarrah tree is a very large species of Eucalyptus)
The eucalyptus tree does not tolerate cold weather very well and needs a warm dry climate. They are found throughout the plains of Africa and the savannas as well as in Australia. The gum tree eucalyptus is 20 to 30 feet tall with gray-green leaves that grow opposite each other along stems. The jarrah tree is a species of eucalyptus that grows taller than the gum tree and can reach heights of over 100 feet. The leaves and flowers are found in the top of the tree; the flowers are clustered in fragrant groups of seven or eight.
Tiger.
Animals that live in tropical wet and dry climates are african animals. Like giraffes, lions, tigers, snakes, gorillas, chimpanzee, and orangutans.
Bengal Tigers: These tigers are good swimmers and climb trees! There are lots of trees in the rainforest making it a great place for them to live. The beautiful orange and brown colors of their fur help them blend into the rainforest, allowing them to sneak up on their prey (food). Bengal Tigers eat so much during one meal that they can go a few days without having to eat again.
Gorillas
They move around by walking on their knuckles. Like chimps, gorillas are very smart. When raised by humans, gorillas can learn sign language.
