Species principle: Silver Schooling
Move as silver.
Shared motion turns individual vulnerability into collective survival.

Species principle: Herd Alertness
Alert together.
Safety improves when individual sensitivity serves the whole group.
Chital are spotted deer that rely on herd vigilance, speed, and alert communication to avoid predators.
Species principle: Busy Shelter
Nest after dark.
Safety is built by small habits repeated after dark.

Run noisy.
