"Different animals do tend to have their own preferred climates, it's true." There's a brief nod to go with the words, before he continues on. "Although in my experience, most people these days are at least aware of what camels are, even if they haven't directly interacted with them."

Still, he's not denying the truth of Altaïr's words either. There are always things people aren't familiar with, for one reason or another, be it camels or Abnormals. Or even something that isn't directly related to animals at all, for all that he figures that's a little less relevant to the conversation at hand.

"As to the creatures here... it depends. Some of them could almost be like the ones back home, save for the color. And then there are ones that are very clearly not something one would see on Earth. Things that people might otherwise call monsters."

He's thinking of the wendigo that had attacked the village in particular, with that last. Even if he'd never managed to actually get a name for the creature.
