> I have been to a real jungle safari recently and it struck me how obviously different animals are in their own vast natural habitat than in a zoo.

Having worked as a naturalist-guide in the Peruvian Amazon back in the 1990s, the main way that they differ is by being for the most part - invisble. “Here that sound? That’s a large group of spider monkeys moving off, nearby... now look at these leaf cutter ants”

So many years ago, a friend convinced me to go "bird watching" with her. And I discovered that it's mostly bird listening. It takes considerable skill to actually see the birds that you hear.
