TL0 actually covers a wide range of abilities and life styles. whswhs's question about how they get food is a fantastic one.

A few other questions are worth asking:

Are they tool users? If they can use sticks as tools, a variety of skills become possible. Spears can be useful for dealing with foes you don't want to get close enough to to sting. You can also throw them. Tools also let you make fire and thus pottery, along with weaving baskets to hold food in. All of these require supporting skills.

Do they have any domestic animals? These can really change up life, and add some skills as well.

Do they swim?
