🦒 Zoo Animals Scaling Lab: Metabolism, Heart and Enclosure

Walk a Blender-modelled zoo with an elephant, giraffe, king penguin, lion, red panda and flamingo to see how body size sets Kleiber metabolic rate (70 M^0.75 kcal/day), daily food, resting heart rate, giraffe blood pressure (rho g h over 2 m), penguin cooling and elephant-ear heat loss. Test enclosure carrying capacity, an M/M/c ticket-gate queue (Erlang C vs Monte Carlo) and a log-log fit of the metabolism-mass slope against 0.75.
