Science Horizons Survival was an early title for the ZX Spectrum. The player could take on the role of one of a series of animals, and had to find food to survive whilst avoiding predators.

The aim was to teach users about food chains; as an insect life is short, with the constant danger of being eaten by a bird - but as an eagle the player is at the top of the food chain with mankind or starvation as the only dangers.
