Victoria Plains tropical savanna
The Victoria Plains are a region of interchange, bounded by the Tanami Desert in the south and lush tropical savannas to the north. Many species reach their distribution limits here and there are few endemic species. The hot, humid summers and warm, dry winters support vast Mitchell grass savannas interspersed with eucalyptus woodlands, dominated by bloodwood trees. Tall shrublands of lancewood (a thin acacia tree) may include small slivers of rainforest-affiliated plants. These savannas are also full of wildlife, from the large, kangaroo-like euro to the worlds smallest marsupial, the long-tailed planigale. Read more: View WWF Report |
