Scorpion Races: First Simulation
Two basic strategies are possible when an animal is confronted with a predator: fight or flight. Which strategy works better for a scorpion?
In this simulation, a scorpion is confronted by a hungry burrowing owl.
(A burrowing owl???)
Should the scorpion challenge the owl (fight) or run away (flee)? Try
each strategy 5 times and see what the success rates are.
