A savanah biome is one that is a biome in where there are shrubs and isolated trees where as a rainforest is a forest of tall trees in which an average of 50-260 inches of rainfall fall each year. In a savanah, it rarely rains, but in a rainforest it is common for it to rain as there is always at least more than 100 inches of rain per year. A relation that the two have is that a savanah is commonly found between a rainforest and a desert. The plant life of the rainforest depends on water and the animals literally live off the agriculture or plant life found there. The savanah rarely has plants, but their plants sometime provide shelter for shelter for some of the animals found there. Savanahs have animals that survive off feeding off each other such as rainforest do too. The animals found in savanahs are huge, for example, elephants, tigers, lions, giraffes,lemurs, snakes, bugs, etc.
