They're not in the greatest numbers. The regular ones anyways. I happend to have a harvester to run about 4km N of that northern base, so I always ran into a few running that.

I did close to the same thing as someone mentioned above, only on Dant. I had 2 piket missions about 200 apart. I'd milk (racked up over 20k milk before i hit DNA 4) and sample one lair till the were either all dead or i got aggro. At that time I just ran to the other lair and started over. The lairs would "reset" everytime and have afresh stock of critters to do my dirty stuff to. As a side note i was working on CH also and the few babies that spawned made a nice distraction from the milk/sample.
Whenever my packs got full i just ran into the nearest city and made creatures then headed back out to start over.

I just completed levels 3 & 4 on Endor, but I do it the suicide way.
Leave armour and anything you'd like to keep at home but take 2 food & chem crafting tools with you to Endor. Don't bother paying for buffs unless you can find an ent to do the mind bars.
When you get to Endor, set your clone point, apply mask scent, peace and run into the wilderness.
DNA sample anything you find, if you find you are not getting a sample from something that cons' red to you leave it and find something else. By level 3 I found I could sample most of the critters I came across.
If you get agroed run away, if you don't shoot them they normally give up quickly (that's the reason for the /peace but don't forget to reset it) use burst run and heals if you need to.
If you get deathblowed or triple incapped, pick yourself up from the cloner and charge out again
Its not a good idea to try this if you don't like getting killed, but it is rather fun especially if you do a commentry in guildchat!
But its lots of xp for a little time spent.
Oh, the crafting tools are for emptying your inventory by making dna samples (but we all knew that), having an empty backpack is a good idea too.

I never came even remotely close to dying. Sometimes buffed, sometimes not. No armor. Zero combat.
But.
Always had a supply of synthsteak, brandy, and a bike with the keys in the ignition.
