You still need to be a good photographer to avoid getting a huge
number of dreadful shots...

Well, that's rather the point. Animals tend to move and do things. If
you've taken a good shot of the animal, and then it moves to an even
better position, does something interesting or whatever then you'll
want to take another ... and another ... especially if you're being
sent on a photoshoot at someone else's expense and are expected to get
results.

I did this on a train ride I took a couple years ago, in Spencer, NC,
IIRC. Beautiful scenery, and snapping a photo of the train by leaning
out the window and getting a shot of it heading around a curb was just
too tempting. And I also got a lot of shots of it standing still -
from the front, sides... I took all kinds of shots. Got a lot of good
ones of it. (That would be the same vacation I used 17 rolls of 36
shots in less than a week.)
