Tropical rainforests are characterized by dense vegetation, high rainfall, and a wide variety of plant and animal species, but not typically large grazing mammals or scattered trees and shrubs.
Deserts are known for their arid conditions, sparse vegetation, and extreme temperatures, which do not support large grazing mammals or scattered trees and shrubs.
Tundras are cold, treeless regions with a short growing season, primarily supporting mosses, lichens, and small shrubs, not large grazing mammals or scattered trees.
Savannas are characterized by a mix of grasslands with scattered trees and shrubs, and they support large grazing mammals and reptiles, making them the correct biome for the given description.
