I've only played 2-player so far, and can't say there were ever enough of the same animal throughout the game to justify going for it...as someone mentioned above, I tend to go for science to increase my options, but most of the other tiles are really useful too. Animals are pure points, if you get the same animals, then fair play, otherwise waste of a dice?

I can believe that animals are too risky to pursue in 2-player games. If you do not know from the start which tiles will be in the game, then you might be proceeding down a path which never pays off whereas other paths can be pursued with confidence.
I treat Castles of Burgundy as precisely a 4-player game for this reason. I know others disagree and disagree vehemently.
