I spent an entire evening exploring some far mountains, next to the mist. I never saw a person, and never saw an animal either.

Let's add another couple basics:
1) coyotes and raccoons can live among humans. They should spawn among them, at a rapid rate.
2) deer will come down to water in the evenings, or at least once a day
3) bears will head to junk piles at night. It is common to see bears going through the trash bins at night around where I live.
