[...] However, when you examine animal behavior even in its most natural-seeming environment, for instance, you are not observing the basic behavior patterns of such creatures, because those relatively isolated areas exist in your world. [...]

The balance of resources, animal travel patterns, migrations, weather conditions — all of these must be taken into consideration. [...]
