The grasslands of East Africa may look dry but support a diverse ecosystem. Herbivores like giraffes and elephants eat leaves and twigs from trees, while zebras and gazelles graze on grass. Carnivores such as lions and cheetahs prey on these herbivores, and scavengers like jackals and vultures feed on their leftovers. Locusts also consume whatever plants they encounter. The summary describes the food chain in the East African grasslands, with plant-eating and meat-eating animals interacting as predators and prey.
