Today I published the video-game SneakyTurtle FierceOwl which is a parent-child team parent-child team project and the second of a series themed on the interactions between herbivores, carnivores, plants, and energy, illustrating how herbivores balance grazing with escaping from predators (carnivores) and how such balance affects their net energy.

The game-goal is to reach 6000 energy units by eating algae at a faster rate than her body loses energy, and avoiding predation by a fierce owl and an opportunistic water-snake. The turtle can hide from the owl but once seen, only the lake will shield you from the owl but not from the snake. There is a trick to pass the snake though; can you figure it out? We hope this game makes you laugh while discovering a strategy to reach your energy goal in such a hostile environment.

I would love to read your feedback after you give it a try!!!

I hope that 2021 is treating you nicely!!!
