Here it depends on grazing intensity and not the burrowing animals or termites. The savanna is the home of wild animals. Usually, there are two main groups of animals in the savanna &#8211; the grass-eating herbivorous animals (giraffes, dear, elephants) and the flesh-eating carnivorous animals (lion, tiger, leopard, Panther). There are hardly any burrowing animals or termites.<\/li><li><strong>Statement 2 is correct:<\/strong> Bush fires are common in Savannah because of the alternate wet and dry seasons which can modify the forest.<\/li><li><strong>Statement 3 is correct: <\/strong>Due to the presence of a large number of grass-eating herbivorous animals, grazing intensity is a major reason for the type of Savanna; so grazing herbivores do contribute to keeping a check on forests.<\/li><li><strong>Statement 4 is correct: <\/strong>Sudan&#8217;s type of climate is characterized by the alternate hot rainy season and cool dry season. Hence drought due to the<strong> <\/strong>seasonal nature of rainfall contributes to keeping the forests in check.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc\/upsc-essay?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Banner&amp;utm_campaign=Essay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/UPSC-Essay-Course-1280\u00d7300-1-3.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42688 lazyload\" width=\"781\" height=\"182\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 781px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 781\/182;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For UPSC Prelims Resources,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc-cse-prelims-resource-centre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Daily Updates and Study Material:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join our Telegram Channel \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/WithEdukemy4IAS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edukemy for IAS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1.
