Termite mounds and "scrubland" was all I knew beforehand. It's probably because of zoo games I used to play as a kid, but I've always pictured scrub as "just a step above desert" in terms of dryness. Never knew they could be so green in some places.
I agree, it's hard to understand their need for humidity just by generalizing about "scrubland". And we still don't know much about the actual soil either- that makes a huge difference too, as to how much moisture is retained.
