Since lens with high focal distance are generally not that fast and they need high shutter to freeze moving animals, how do they get light without addind too much gain an grain ?

It’s not like f/2.8 and f/4 telephoto lenses don’t exist; they’re just crazy expensive. Though even that said, they’re like used car expensive - not totally out of reach for someone who’s really into wildlife photography.
Though you also don’t even need those per se. Telephoto lenses from f/5.6 to f/6.3 are relatively affordable-ish, and daylight offers more than enough light to use a fast shutter even at those relatively smaller apertures. Modern cameras handle high ISO’s with very little noise if you do need to increase that a bit, which makes them a pretty good option for us mere mortals who don’t want to drop $10k+ on a lens.
