The Circle of Life

Today's ecosystem is the African Savannah.

red dot=lion
black dot=zebra
pink dot=flamingo
cream dot=wildebeest
brown dot=spring hare
light green dot in water=crocodile
dark green dot=bush
light green dot on land=tree
light green smear=grass
orange dot=hyena
grey dot=vulture
yellow dot=giraffe
blue dot=elephant
white dot=baboon

And the unlucky number is...3! In the field, that was succession, but on the savannah, it's going to mean that a group of animals suddenly colonizes a new area. Not like migration, where the whole herd leaves. So here we have flamingos colonizing other watering holes.

This really has no effect on the ecosystem, as nothing really feeds on flamingos.
