Fauna in New England needs an overhaul

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We have wolves, cougars, black rats and rattlesnakes ingame. In real life they are among the extirpated species in New England.

Solution you would like.

Existing fauna which needs to be nerfed:

• Wolves: Could be in zoos perhaps. And/or return a few years after the Cataclysm, provided the environment is still intact enough.
• Naked mole rats are not native either. Could be replaced by other moles, e.g the star-nosed mole. Or did they escape from labs?
• Black rats: Replace with mutated rats? I'd also have rats gorge on corpses, which could be true black rats with the blob fluid oozing all over them.
• Cougars: Since biosignatures of them are found very, very rarely in New England, the spawn chance needs to be drastically reduced.
• Rattlesnakes: Reduce spawn rate. They are endangered, also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauna_of_Maine#Snakes
• Caribou/Reindeer: Maybe not even native to Massachusetts but extirpated anyways.

Potential buffs in spawn rate:

• Racoons are a pest in cities and need to be more common. Mutated scavenging racoons could be fun.
• Coyotes. https://www.mass.gov/service-details/prevent-conflicts-with-coyotes
• Apparently turkeys, which are territorial. https://www.mass.gov/service-details/prevent-conflicts-with-turkeys

New fauna that would make sense:

• Turtles! Especially the common snapping turtles. Contrary to common belief, they prefer to flee rather than attack.
• Lizards, newts, salamanders.
• Some more snakes. There is apparently also the copperhead which is venomous.
• Skunks. An obvious choice.

Feedback is much appreciated.
