Truly, a marvelous (if rather smallish) water-rich planet with an astounding variety of life forms in an otherwise barren and minor solar system. A bit out of the way, but worth the visit.
Some species here are more prevalent and persistent, while some are struggling and disappearing. What will evolve to survive? What will not?
