Biomes are a major part of terrestrial ecosystems. Under this, all the functional groups of flora and fauna are included. The complex bio-community that develops by harmonizing with the climate, soil, etc. of a particular state is called a 'biome'. There are five terrestrial biome regions in the world, which are divided on the basis of groundwater availability and temperature. The region has a humid-arid tropical climate. It is parkland land where some trees live in the grassland area. Its major regions are Africa, India, Brazil, Eastern Australia, etc. In Venezuela, this biome is called Lanos. Plants and animals of this biome area have the ability to tolerate drought and there is not much diversity in the trees. Elephant, hippopotamus, wild buffalo, deer, zebra, lion, cheetah, leopard, jackal, crocodile, hippopotamus, snake, AMU and ostrich are found here. This region is famous as the 'land of big victims' and the world-famous 'Zoo'. Human intervention has adversely affected the ecological balance of the region.
