Grammar Notes:
1. Лев (Lev) - "Lion"
- Noun, masculine, singular, nominative case. This is the subject of the sentence.

2. в (v) - "in"
- Preposition. This preposition is used to indicate location.

3. африканской (afrikanskoy) - "African"
- Adjective, feminine, singular, prepositional case. This adjective describes the savannah, matching in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies.

4. саванне (savanne) - "savannah"
- Noun, feminine, singular, prepositional case. This is the location where the lion is found. It is in the prepositional case because it follows the preposition "в" which requires the prepositional case when indicating location.

5. на (na) - "at"
- Preposition. This preposition is used here to indicate a specific time.

6. закате (zakate) - "sunset"
- Noun, masculine, singular, prepositional case. This indicates the time of day and is used with the preposition "на" which, when used with times of the day, requires the noun to be in the prepositional case.

### General Grammar Tip
In Russian, adjectives must agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. In the sentence "Лев в африканской саванне на закате," the adjective "африканской" modifies "саванне," agreeing in the feminine singular form and in the prepositional case due to the preposition "в."
