Biodiversity For Beginners

Animals incoming! You've signed up for the animal breeder starter pack, your complimentary island has arrived and now they won't stop shipping you crates of animals! Apparently setting up a stable ecosystem is easy: keep the animals fed and they'll make more animals, something about food chains and starvation, I don't know, this is a lot of reading. Just make sure there are enough animals to ship off again and don't let anything go extinct on your island.

How to Play:

Drag crates onto the island to deliver that many animals. Animals will automatically look for food and breed periodically. Gather enough to satisfy a shipping requirement on one of the boats, and then click on that boat to ship them off again. The food chain is randomised each time you play, so you'll need to figure out which animal eats what. You lose animal trust each time a species goes extinct on the island, so try to keep each species alive.
