The savanna - the African steppe, in translation with Portuguese means « steppe with trees ». Bushes and trees grow In savanna: bushes - thickets, trees - groves. Acacias stick out as if the umbrellas thrust in the ground, and refer to - umbellate acacias.
In the summer savanna damp and green, in the winter - yellow and dry. Numerous large animals are found. Zebras are grazed together with giraffes and understand each other about a floor of a sight. Will be guarded Giraffes - and zebras will set ears. Giraffes and the general herd like observant towers: eyes so are planted, that all around see also a head it is not necessary to twirl. When the herd of zebras and giraffes moves in thickets, to count it is impossible neither those, nor others. Sides, necks, heads, legs - all mixes up and dispatched on strips and spots.
Up to what zebras are good! Strong, as if hardly pumped up; and holds apart them from surplus, vital forces. Lift up each other, kick, go for a drive by the ground, only hoofs in a dust flash also strips on a skin it is not visible. But a wind as the careful groom, will quickly clear a skin up to shine.
With fractional footfall the herd of zebras from road - and in opinion of flashing before eyes will rush! And suddenly will stand, spring, ears and a mane upright. Bright and appreciable, as if striped columns on abrupt turn of highway.
Having lowered to the ground horse muzzles, dusted in steppe herd of antelopes of a gnu. Up to what a silly animal! With a muzzle of a horse, horns of the bull, a body of an antelope. Goatee and a horse tail. Fantastic small horse. The gnu are full of care and curiosity. Straining a hard neck and throwing up, by bony back, a gnu at a meeting are carried away in steppe. But it is fast, being covered with bushes, come back, putting out from branches, bearded heads.
The gnu with zebras, giraffes and antelopes impala are grazed. And too understand each other. Herds of animals converge, miss, mix up. Here only you understand, for the sake of what people are started up in long trips.
