Perhaps some planktonic organisms will indeed end up colonizing the seabed one day…

Minimal changes to the biosphere have been detected. There was a large die-off on land in the plantlife due to the increase of herbivores, the populations of both the land and sea seem to be self-correcting however.

We’re back, baby.

How many size up mutations do I need to lose the 2nd vote?

Movement 1: Move to West Mangroves.

@animalia, I evolved primitive echolocation for the previous round. I already have bioluminescence from Round 16.
