For now, they are categorised into three groups (prey, predators and scavengers). In the future, changes could include additions and updates to these documents. These creatures’ behaviour varies under observable conditions, such as day and weather cycles.

1 +"Recuced Activity during Rain" - I see how it follows rules of resemblance and logic. I like the idea that its easier to hunt for prays in their nests while its raining or entering the cage to be suprised by a flock of predators in there. This has a lot of potential but how would you introduced that to player?

1 +Well this is very problematic.
2 +\\This mechanic is mostly know form hunting simulators. Additionaly many players tend to play games while listening to something. Lastly,  It comes with readability issues. We would need tho have special "Listening" animation for each mob to make it readable, unless we going to communicate it via UI (we won't). 
3 +\\Sole idea of alert state is good, but in here we need to marge it with vison. So it applies to overall detection range etc.

1 +There is a minor issue. I see what you ment by Rainy or foggy. But i would not go with hard naming rain or fogy. Name it low visbility & bad. You know if we decide that we would like to have a dessert layer then  bad weather still aplies but rainy not very much.

1 +Well this is a major issue. 
2 +\\First of all it affects navigation, and if we are making game about resources scaristy it could be more deadly then predators by themself. I see how much it may be dependant by visuals of the fog  but its high risk. 
3 +\\Second, it's efectivly enforcing sneaking meachnics. Don't you think that forcing player to reduce the movemnt speed at effectivley entire map is could be radically affecting game pacing? 
4 +\\However, i like the idea of "I am traveling thourgh fog, and hapens to stumble upon pray that is suprised as much as I am" 
5 +\\I think problem lies in the fact that you give double advantage to mobs; 
6 +1 - player can't see them
7 +2 - they will hear player before they can be seen.
