It is probable that we cannot truly write from an alien point of view, but we can develop our alternate people in a logical consistent manner. Change happens over time. Technological and cultural changes do not happen overnight, even though it seems so sometimes. With technical developments, the step from idea to experimental prototype, from prototype to commercial development, and from initial commercial development to universal use can usually be measured in decades. Cultural changes, in some cases, can be measured in generations.
Planets are complex entities.
Before you consider writing about the Jungle-Planet Frozz, consider how complex the environment on our own world is. Any planet that generates life will be as varied in climate, terrain, and environment as the Earth is, if not more so. Anything as large as a planetary body will not be reducible to a single description. Even the terrain on the moon is varied. Also, remember the changes wrought by fiddling with planetary dynamics.
