Lets say the producers have 1000 energy. The primary consumer will get only 100 energy. The secondary only get 10 energy and the tertiary gets 1 energy.

In the African Savanna temperatures can range anywhere from 68-86 degrees Fahrenheit. Throughout the year there can be as mush rain as 15 to 25 inches.

Finally there is predator and prey. A Predator Prey relationship is between two organisms in which one of them acts as predator that captures and feeds on the other organism that serves as the prey. An example is a lion and a gazelle. A lion serves as the predator, catching and feeding on the gazelle that serves as the prey.

Then there is the mutualism. Mutualism is A symbiotic relationship between individuals of different species in which both individuals benefit. Ox-peckers and the Rhinoceros is an example of mutualism. The ox-pecker gets the ticks on the rhinoceros as its food. The ox-peckers also warn the Rhinoceros of any danger that may be lurking.

Next is commensalism. Commensalism is a form of symbiosis between two organisms in which one benefits while the other is neither harmed or benefited in this relationship. Many of the animals that feed on grass will have birds follow them. There is no real benefit to the grazing animal however the birds get well fed by eating all the bugs.

Lets start with parasitism. A form of symbiosis in which one organism benefits off of another species usually while harming the other. An example of this relationship is a tick on an elephant. Parasitism is when a parasite takes advantage of its host. In this situation, a tick is taking blood from an elephant.

In the African Savanna, there are four types of symbiosis that can be found.
