That sounds like the top of a mountain to me. I wouldn't suggest that it is a very good habitat, but it ticks all of the boxes. The sun will almost constantly be on it as cloud cover is below the peak, water vapour from the clouds will rise to form snow on the stone, but the air is thin up there, causing temperature and oxygen to be low.

What are some examples of parasitism mutualism and commensalisms in the deciduous forest?
Parasitism- Dodder and Shrub, Dodder gets place to live and Shrub is Harmed!
Parasitism- Flea and Dog, Flea gets home/food and Dog is harmed b/c the flea feeds on its blood!
Competition- Fallen Tree blocks light for trees below!
Competition- Deer and Moose both fighting over grass/food!

Predation- Owl and mouse, owl preys on mouse and mouse runs and hides from the owl!
Predation- Bobcat and Deer, Bobcat gets food and Deer is Killed!
Predation Salamander and Insect, Salamander gets Insect as food!
Commensalism - Squirrel and Oak Tree, Squirrel gets place to live and Oak is not harmed b/c it does not lose any nutrients
Commensalism - Deer and Shrub, Deer gets place to live and Shrub is not harmed b/c it does not lose any nutrients.
Mutualism- Bird and Deer, Bird gets a ride/food (from the insects off the Deer) and Deer benefits from being cleaned
Mutualism - Croc and animals, Croc opens mouth and allows certain animals to feed on its leeches. Some of this may be false because it has to be a long lasting relationship.

What are some savanna plants adaptations?
Plants that grow in the savanna, or other semi-arid areas, have characteristics that usually help the plant reduce water loss or gain water. They may have any combination of the following characteristics:
- very small, numerous leaves
- shed their leaves during the dry season
- thorny stems to dissuade animals from eating their leaves and reduce water loss
- fine hairs ("trichomes") on their leaves
- very long tap roots to reach underground sources of water (trees)
- dense adventitious roots to prevent being pulled out by grazing animals
- thick trucks to store water (e.g. baobab)
- store water in their roots underground
- grow rapidly during the wet season
