I've noticed people talking about Qurupeco subspecies and how it could not eat in the Volcano. It could eat there, since there is a costal area in/near the Volcano area. So there is its supply of fish.

The only thing about the Qurupeco Subspecies is that it would most likely have difficulty with the heat. Being in the Flooded Forest makes since, it would most likely be humid and somewhat hot. In the Volcano, however, it would be dry and extremely hot. It would make more sense for there to be two subspecies instead of one, one to deal with the humid, warm climate; and one to deal with the hot, dry climate.

So... I realize this is kinda obvious though...
