Within each specie area, seven species of animals reside. All four of the [[Ecological_Role\|ecological role]]s are represented in each specie area with two carnivores, two herbivores, one omnivore, and two scavengers.

	(Three altitudes X three vegetation densities + one undersea) X three times of day X seven species = 210 different species of animals in each resource zone.		(Three altitudes * three vegetation densities + one undersea) * three times of day * seven species = 210 different species of animals in each resource zone.

	Animal species are stored using a compact string of data, referred to as its [[DNA]]. The DNA of animals in Hazeron is capable of describing quadrillions of combinations. The 3D model representation of each animal specie is synthesized from its DNA. Not all DNA attributes are visible on the model, particularly those related to its behavior. After traveling to many worlds you may see an animal that reminds you of another animal you saw elsewhere but it is unlikely to be identical.

	A planet is divided into three [[resource zone]]s, like an orange divided into three equal slices. Resource quality and abundance varies by zone. The only visible change from one zone to the next is the appearance of the plant life. Otherwise, you must spot the terrain to watch for a change in resource quality to notice that you are in a different zone. Moons and extremely tiny planets have only one zone. Ringworld arcs are divided into two zones.		Animal species are distributed in each [[Resource_Zone\|resource zone]] based on terrain altitude above sea level, relative vegetation density, and time of day. Terrain is considered to be one of four altitudes: high land, low land, sea level, and underwater. Vegetation density is considered to be one of three densities: forest, savanna, and desert. Time of day is based on actual solar light level and is considered to be dark, dim, or bright. Each combination of terrain altitude, vegetation density, and time of day is considered to be a different specie area for distribution of animal species.
