Making the model more realistic

The poor defenseless sheep should be allowed to move as well. Let's see how we can make this a more realistic model. Start by setting up realistic movement for both wolf and sheep and then move on from there.

Challenges:

  1. Wolves and sheep move around the field realistically.
  2. Make the wolf appear to eat a sheep when it runs into one.
  3. Make the sheep slowly multiply.

Questions
