There are differnt landscapes, but there is no "climate zone" (hope this is right in english

)
Explore your area, it should be easy to find a few minutes in all directions grassland, deserts, or swamps.
In the woods u can find roots, wild animals like bears, boars, white redeyed albino bunnies (very wild roaarrr).
In the grasslands u can find animals like sheep, cows and so on....
For reason: RAISE YOUR EXPLORATION SKILL and u will find more things.
These are the basics, think more information about finding what you want to look for is on wikipedia.
