        Actually, this sort of detail belongs in the primary development of
the critter.  Location by climate is an important detail.  Such things as
coloration of down feathers or eyes is more likely to be final detail.
        Information of this sort is good for a sense of completeness of the
whole.  If every country has the same basic critters, something seems
amiss.  Particularly when those countries are separated by several hundred
miles and have greatly different climes.
