Every sunflower throws shade on another and murders it to grow tall. All things natural are exponential in a linear resourced world, conflict is baked into coexistence.

Coexistance is only the begining,many species are interdependant,or highly co-operative with other species,there are different hordes of multi spiecies birds who forage together,and ,AND,will join in on harassing a predator. Recent examples of octopi hunting and useing fish as there "dogs",good fish get treats,bad fish get punched,fucking wild!
