it's absolutely possible they evolved or i got a new strain of dinos not as susceptible to UV the second time around or the sandbed was a huge contributing factor
i doubt unicellular eukaryotes can evolve to not get killed by UV light of that intensity let alone so fast, I think it might have been the sandbed

UV should be coming today im anxious to start this blackout...
