Yes! In a specific instance, to "take advantage of" Hera, Zeus created a thunderstorm and turned himself into a small bird. Hera, taking pity on the bird, rescued it from the rain and held it to herself to keep it warm. Zeus then turned himself back and raped her...what a classy guy.

Some of the gods were patrons of animals, and some hunters of animals. They did not rely on animals as any way superior or protective.

Where is the home of the Roman gods?

Unlike the Greek mythology, early Roman religion did not see their gods as engaging in human-like activities. There are no accounts of such things as where they would live. They were known as protectors of various aspects of human life, with a very complex hierarchy. Only later, when large parts of Greek mythology were borrowed, we see more anthropomorphic characteristics ascribed to Roman gods, as well as many Greek gods added to the Roman pantheon. Many of these "new" gods were believed to have lived on mount Olympus, which is the highest mountain in Greece.
