Just my opinions but if you look at the map for the MH world. The arctic ridge is actually directly next to the ocean just not the part you hunt in so Zamtrios is reasonably at the bottom of the mountains on the northern side at the ocean.

Kecha can be in the thickest parts of the Forest you know like up in the trees in that area with the watering hole but no permit to hunt it.

Rathian and Rathalos have been proven just like Kutku and other wyverns to NEED to fuel their fire breath at places like Volcanoes!

Tetsucabra can be in the MILES long WATER filled cave systems in the desert. which is much more moist than the volcanic hollow anyway.

Dalamadur the cats hunted was never stated to be full sized nor do we ACTUALLY know where Dala live when they are NOT about to shed their skin or gather at a mountain on a small island.
