0003233: When embarking in an area with 2 very different biomes, area savagery is ignored
I embark in an area with two very different biomes (mountain and swamp/forest) with both on untamed wilds savagery. However, I never see any untamed wilds creatures - only deer, foxes, goats and at worst wolves. When I embark in an area with only one or similar biomes on untamed wilds, I never see those creatures, and get the usual range of big cats/elephants/alligators etc.
Embark on an area with two very different biomes, say a mountain biome and swamp biome, with both on untamed wilds.
Giant eagles seem to be an exception to this, but even then I only see them at the beginning and then never again. Also, the embark doesn't start with animals on it as others do - they have to migrate on.
No tags attached.

Embarked on a mixed UW mountain biome and terrifying swamp biome, which is giving me hoary marmots.

Should note that I embarked onto a terrifying/wilderness combo, and had absolutely no undead. The most I had was the monkeys stealing my stuff, and the occasional wandering cougar. Nothing even remotely dangerous.

This was also combining mountains with forest.
