Obviously not every behaviour can be captured in one take exactly in the way that will make an interesting film documentary. This is not some revelation.

As long as the edited footage represents something that could plausibly (though maybe rarely) happen I see no issue.

Personally I am happy to sit through a "drier" documentary if it is well made. But Planet Earth and the like are greatest hits type documentaries, designed to show the exceptional events and behaviours.
