I just noticed a pattern with my last fortress,  digging down to the underground caverns can some times mean that critters will spawn down there, since the map only allows 2 wild animals to exist, this means any attempt for my hunters to hunt the underground animals will result in a forgotten beats to likely run straight into my fortress and go right for the booze stock pile (NOT THE BOOZE).  My problem is now the above ground animals will not spawn and my fortress was running low on food,  thankfully I had plenty of pack animals the caravan was in town,  I was able to purchase over 1,000 meals to fortress stabilized at-least while i get some cave wheat and rock nut seeds delivered.

any ways,  it would be nice to if dwarf fortress treated these areas differently so that you have 2 animals above ground and 2 bellow ground.  I think toady has mentioned something about changing wild animals so that they are more inserting and interact with each other (i think something along the lines of the local leopard hunting the local herbivores).

I think you are experiencing a bug, or you're not playing the latest version.
