Savannas are very important. They are the homes to many animals, some that are endangered and rare. Grasslands are where most of the big migrations occur, the biggest on in Africa's grassland, the Serengeti.

I can say that I've witnessed a dog eating grass and accidentally getting a good nasal cleanse, as the thick blade of grass invades the nasal passage and explosively finds its way back out. Though it is highly unlikely that the dog eating grass was intentionally cleaning out his nose!A dog eating grass does not have the ability to digest it, as they lack the enzymes needed to break it down.

How are animals are completely dependent upon plants as food?
Animals that eat other animals (carnivores) often eat plant eating animals (herbivores) or animals that eat both (omnivores). Even if they don't, at some point in the food chain, animals will be dependant on plants to live. If the herbivores die out because of lack of food, then the animals that eat them will also die, and so on. In the end, the carnivores food will not be around any more, so they will also die. It is all very complicated, take an example. A lion will eat a gazelle that will eat grass. If the grass dies, so will the gazelle. The lion will then die because it will not have any more gazelles to eat! So that is how meat eating animals depend on plants, even though they don't eat them themselves.
