Asked by Wiki User

Rainforests are characterized by lots of rain and a dense canopy, usually with very large tries and an incredible varied ecosystem. Savannas, or savannahs, are usually grasslands, drier, and their trees are shorter and more sparse. Savannas occur mostly on the African continent, whereas rainforests are present on every continent. Both habitats occur on or close to the equator, although temperate rainforests do occur.

What is the biggest dessert in the world?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most Saudi desserts are served on cookie sheets are are usually all the size of the tray. The desserts (like kanafeh or baklawa) are then cut into small squares for consumption (sort of like brownies). Therefore, the largest desserts are likely Western imports like "banana splits" which are far larger than the individual pieces of Saudi desserts.

If the question meant to ask about "Saudi Deserts", i.e. the hot dry regions, please see the Related Question below.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cactus mice [Peromyscus eremicus] are omnivores, which means that they may eat plants and other animals. For example, they feed on seeds and mesquite beans.

And they like fresh, clean water to drink.
