🦅 Vultures as Nature's Clean-up Crew: Carrion, Decay and Disease-Risk Model

A savanna carrion model: carcasses arrive, microbes (temperature-dependent) and vultures (Holling type II feeding) remove them, vulture numbers respond to food, and a pathogen-exposure index shows what happens when vultures decline. Equilibrium checked against the analytic solution.
