African grazers are plant-eating animals that mainly eat grasses and low plants in Africa's large savannahs and grasslands. They help keep the ecosystem balanced by controlling plant growth and serving as food for predators.

Key African grazers include:

• Zebras: Black-and-white striped animals that live in groups and eat various grasses in East and Southern Africa.

• Wildebeest: Known for their big yearly migration, they eat short grasses and move in large herds, affecting the land and soil nutrients.

• African Buffalo: Big, strong animals living in woodlands and savannahs, their feeding shapes plant growth.

• Impala: Medium-sized antelopes that eat fresh grasses and shoots, and are quick, often hunted by predators.

• Thomson’s and Grant’s Gazelles: Small grazers eating tender grasses, important for recycling nutrients in their homes.

Their grazing changes with the seasons, affecting migration and breeding. They also support predator animals like lions and hyenas, making grazers vital to Africa's wildlife.
