Savanna Signal
Savanna Animals Animal Adventure Pack
Something is disrupting the balance of the savanna.
Sensors across the Golden Plains Reserve are detecting broken migration routes, uneven grazing patterns, and unstable predator activity. Ari Raider has traced the disturbance to the savanna ecosystem, where the Professor has interfered with the natural balance between predators and herds and hidden a specimen inside a sealed Mystery Mine.
In Savanna Signal, students explore iconic savanna animals and discover how predators, grazers, and migratory species depend on cooperation, speed, and movement to survive. From coordinated hunters and powerful herd defenders to long-distance migrants and alert runners, explorers must use real animal knowledge to restore balance and unlock the Mystery Mine.
This adventure transforms animal science into a story-driven mission focused on ecosystems, adaptations, and the delicate balance of life on the savanna.
