The African savanna is home to some of the most remarkable wild animals on Earth, each adapted to life on the open grassland. Fast cheetahs and packs of hyenas chase down herds of gazelle, impala, and wildebeest, while heavy grazers like the rhino and buffalo hold their ground. Smaller residents such as the warthog and the meerkat round out the scene. This puzzle gathers eleven of these savanna dwellers, away from the more familiar lions and elephants.
