Are they at risk of being eaten  by predators? Protect them with horns or a hard shell. Having trouble finding enough food in the  watering hole? A long neck brings previously inaccessible food within reach. 

Tinker with the nigh-infinite amount of genetic combinations while enjoying new artwork,  animations, and a campaign mode complete with deadly bosses. Ascend the leaderboards and  become the best digital board game biologist in the world, earning new avatars and other  rewards.
