Saiga Herd Vigilance & Flight Initiation Distance (2D)

2D saiga-herd behavioral-ecology lab: click the steppe to place a predator and watch the flight-initiation-distance trigger, the many-eyes vigilance effect and the social-contagion alarm ripple move real prey through graze / alert / flee / settle states.

This 2D companion isolates the predator-response mechanic from the 3D steppe scene into a top-down behavioral-ecology lab: click anywhere to drop a predator and the herd runs a real flight-initiation-distance model — a many-eyes vigilance radius that grows with herd size, direct detectors that flee immediately, and a social-contagion alarm ripple that carries the response through the rest of the group at a speed you control — instead of a single scripted "everyone flees together" trigger.

⚙ Under the hood

2D saiga-herd behavioral-ecology lab with a real flight-initiation-distance model, a herd-size-dependent many-eyes vigilance radius, and a social-contagion alarm ripple that spreads through the group at a set speed.
