Temperature variations is caused by differences in latitude. Low altitude areas are warmer than high altitude areas. This causes the distribution of vegetation to vary according to altitude. Animal species are spread out over a wide range of altitude within the warmer regions. Most of the animals are found in the hot and warm parts of East Africa which are also low altitude regions. Fewer species of Mountain gorillas inhabit the high and cold mountain regions.
Rainfall distribution varies between highlands and lowlands. Where there is abundant rainfall, a variety of plants species grow. Big forest trees are abundant and a variety of animals like baboons, elephants and many species of birds and butterflies also exist in such areas. Low rainfall results in extensive grasslands on which a large variety of herbivores live. Carnivores such as lions and cheetahs which prey on such herbivores are also found in the grasslands. The arid areas have limited vegetation cover and hence few wild animals.
