Eats
Every animal here is an individual with its own hunger, age and decisions. Grazers strip the microbial mat and it grows back. Filter feeders thin the plankton. Hunters chase, miss, catch and eat; the dead sink and draw scavengers. Nothing is scripted.
Body plans follow the Burgess Shale fossils. Colours, speeds and behaviour are informed guesses, and lives are compressed so that a generation passes in minutes.
