The animals mentioned in the question are from a savanna. A woodland-grassland ecosystem that is characterised by having spaced trees that create an open canopy. Giraffes eat from those trees and at the same time, they way the trees are placed allows the growth of a herbaceous layer used for grazing by animals like the zebra or impala as primary consumers or herbivores, which on their own attract secondary consumers or carnivores (organisms that eat meat) like a leopard or a lion.
I believe it was France in the D-Day Invasions, that was a massive assault on the beaches and ended in the Allied forces pushing through the Nazi defenses.
