You spelled savanna wrong. It's savanna. Only when you are talking about a name is when you add the h on the end.

This is true in American English, but savannah is preferred in all the other main branches of English.

I'm American and I was taught in school in the 1960s that it is spelled savannah. I guess it's another thing that's changed over time. I checked online dictionaries and for the most part, American dictionaries list "savanna (also savannah)" while British dictionaries list "savannah (also savanna)". I'd say neither spelling is incorrect, one is more common than the other depending on location. QM accepted both. He is a wise man.

A bit more leeway on Imhotep, maybe? Didn't know where to put the h... You should accept Imotep. Sounds the same.

Should it specify land animal for elephant? Can't we technically say that the several species of whales are African animals?
