Mosiac

An area populated by humans, the Mosiac lies to the south of the Highlands.  The sound of the humans' Singing Dog can often be heard when entering this area of the territory though it is generally avoided because of the risk of running into humans.   It is a band of interlaced forest, savanna, and grassland running east to west and dividing the tropical moist forests near the coast from the savanna of the interior.  It covers an area of 673,600 square kilometers (260,100 sq mi). This region is mainly grassland crossed with trees growing alongside streams and on hillsides, with the constantly occurring fires keeping back the growth of trees in open country. Lophira laceolata is a tree that is more resistant to fire.   The mixture of forest and grassland provide habitat for a range of species from large mammals such as African leopard, forest elephants, hippopotamus and antelopes such as the red-flanked duiker to the common tortoise as well as more localised species including patas monkeys and Ghana worm lizards (Amphisbaenia).  The wetlands in the region are rich in birdlife, including iris glossy-starling and black crowned crane.
