• Question: How would the fun game be? Do you think it would get a lot of money? Do you think it can be helpful to children/adults to understand animals?

      I think we learn more when we enjoy ourselves – we remember happy times. The game will be free to play. It will explain evolution by showing what happens to birdsong over time: players will try to breed and take over the world with song!

      Animal behaviour can teach us about how animals live and how we live too. Birds use song to try to settle arguments without fighting. Some animals cooperate, working together so they both do better than if they each tried to do something on their own. Animals have solved lots of problems about how to live and survive – maybe they can teach us something.

      Scientists don’t study animals because they know what they’re going to find – if we already knew, then there wouldn’t be any point in finding out again. Scientists study animals because we don’t know what we’ll find – that’s what makes it exciting.
