Q&A

What would the flora and fauna be like on a planet with the most competition? The most violent planet

+0
−0

My setting has a lush rainforest planet, which houses some of the most feared animals in the galaxy. The abundance of food would make competition tougher and tougher over millions of years of adaptation. What kind of creatures could survive in such unforgiving conditions? Are there any survival tactics that would become more prominent than others? How exactly would this shape vegetation, prey and predators?

enter image description here

To be more specific what would the plants, prey and predators be like? One example of each at best.

It is very likely that this planet will have cycles of extinction, where a predator has exhausted its prey and will enter hibernation awaiting better conditions. Whenever the population hits its climax predators wear it down to the extreme, thus perpetuating the cycle of violence.

If you have any questions comment and editing shall ensue (please don't put this question on hold, just give a warning.)
