Resource Partitioning by animals: Large herbivores

• The African savannah consists mainly of grasslands and few trees
• The large herbivores occurring in this biome are adapted to partition their food resource successfully
• Wildebeest and zebra are grazers, while kudu and giraffe are browsers
• Grazers and browsers are not in competition, as they partition their resources
• Further resource partition occurs between the browsers, for example kudus browse of lower branches and giraffes on higher branches
