The most common large thorn tree in southern Africa is the Umbrella thorn tree (Acacia tortilis). An example of the leaves and thorns can be seen in this image, which also shows a pupal case protected by a 'cage' made from these thorns.

The umbrella thorn acacia has adapted to its environment by developing long, sharp thorns to deter herbivores from feeding on its leaves. It also has deep roots to access water in arid conditions, and its thin, light-colored leaves help to reduce water loss through transpiration. Additionally, the tree has symbiotic relationships with certain ants that protect it from herbivores in exchange for shelter and food.

The Umbrella Acacia Tree
Some common plants found in the African savanna include acacia trees, baobab trees, elephant grass, and umbrella thorn acacias. These plants have adapted to the savanna's dry and hot conditions by developing long roots, drought-resistant leaves, and the ability to store water. They play a crucial role in providing food and shelter for many animals in the savanna ecosystem.
NO.. they cant
if by tropical grasslands you mean savannas, you can find zebras, giraffes, and hyenas. the grass is typically short and scrubby; the herbivores eat mostly tree leaves, like the umbrella thorn acacia.
