Competition and Relationships

Competition

There is a lot more competition than we think there is in every single biome. Some of the things that animals compete for in the Savanna are air, water, food, and space. Some more specific examples of competition are competing for space. Many different big cats want the same spot, the same tree, or the same pond to drink out of.
