Some of the biotic factors of this biome consist of huge populations of herbivores of different sizes (birds, rodents, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeest, gazelles, etc), as well as carnivores such as wild dogs, lions, leopards, eagles, and scavengers such as vultures, jackals, and hyenas. The dominant vegetation is grass. The abiotic factors are a mostly dry weather with big seasonal rains, a hot temperature, and occasional fires.
The previous paragraph is a description of which biome?
