I am not a Go programmer but I would assume that each behaviour of Animal would be a struct with one or more methods. Those behaviours are added to the agent to make it an animal. Composition. If you want your Food item to walk like a duck and quack like a duck you just add Walk and Quack to it. Presumably some other system would take care of identifying those behaviours and calling them as needed.
