Byron,

During development, was there ever any discussion on how the prey animals eventually convinced the predators to switch to bug burgers (and possibly fish?) instead of eating prey?  In our world, that would be the equivilent of every vegan finally convicing meat eaters to give up the red stuff, and would be quite an accomplishment.  Maybe prey are better negotiators?

Thanks for your time.

Here is Byron's reply:


"There is a painting in the Natural History Museum that shows primitive predator and prey tribes shaking hands and starting a new relationship. Agrarian (farming) cultures tend to survive more easily than hunter-gatherer cultures, and our scientist consultants suggested that the prey would've figured out farming first (because they were focused on vegetables and crops). Maybe the predators thought that an alliance that provided a safer life for their tribes outweighed the deliciousness of a fresh zebra."
