Great job on implementing the animal hierarchy! 🐾 Your code meets the task requirements and constraints effectively. While there are a couple of areas for improvement, such as handling non-Herbivore victims in the bite method more explicitly and considering alternatives to using a mutable class variable for alive, these do not critically impact the functionality. Keep up the good work and consider these suggestions for future enhancements! 🌟

Using a mutable class variable like alive can lead to unintended side effects because it is shared across all instances of the class. Consider using an instance variable or another approach to manage the list of alive animals.

The bite method assumes that the victim is always a Herbivore. While the isinstance check ensures this, it might be better to handle cases where the victim is not a Herbivore more explicitly, perhaps by raising an exception or logging a warning.
