Recreating a realistic copy of an environment isn't what I do, though it could be part of it. I rather attempt to invoke in the listener the sensation of, for example, being in an underwater palace filled with sirens.

So I do have to keep in mind the physics, accoustics, temperature, etc.. of a certain location to do that.

I don't have much knowledge of your location but I read Carribean so my first thought would be editing the sound of a steel drum as one of the main elements.

Anyway, if your question is if I can create the sound of an extinct animal whose sound was never known, no I can't, I can only create a sensation that embodies the spirit of that animal for example. If the animal's sound was known, I could recreate it yeah.

Ah okay nice! I hadnt considered physics, acoustics, temperature, etc. I was mainly thinking the sounds of manatees, Caribbean monk seals, the St. Croix Macaw, etc. We know what they sound like from other environments but they no longer exist in the Caribbean. I was just thinking of layering the tracks overtop each other but I know there's so much more that goes into sound engineering.

Ah yeah that's definitely possible but not really what I do as there's no additional "human" musical theory that gets added.
