# 2021 Darwin Game - Everywhere Else

# Shore

The Shore is an inhospitable wasteland. Algae is available, but it's not very nitrutious. Coconuts offer an even worse calories-to-digestion ratio.

| Name | Carrion | Leaves | Grass | Seeds | Detritus | Coconuts | Algae | Lichen |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shore | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 20 | 1000 | 1000 | 10 |

No coconut eaters got established in the Human Garbage Dump, which means no coconut eaters got established in the River or Shore instead. The only available food is algae. The Shore is basically a small bit of Ocean biome with ⅒ of the algae. The algae-eating winner of our Ocean competition has zero speed so it cannot migrate to the Shore.

To top all of it off, predators migrate in from both sea and land.

Soonbegons migrate from time to time to eat the Detritus. Otherwise, the Shore is mostly a graveyard.

## Winners?

Soonbegons (kind of) by Martin Randall.

# Grassland

The grassland has lots of grass and even more seeds.

The Grassland took 500 turns to establish an equilibrium. 

## Generations 1-500

You can't see it but there's a single Venomoth on the bottom of the graph.
