Maybe animals in savage areas should display similar aggressive behaviors to those of the older versions, to really sell the idea that this is a hostile and untamed land? This would be distinct from agitation, where animal purposely seek you out of course.

[Eric Blank]

I wouldnt mind this if;
a) the agitation mechanic (i.e. deliberately attempting to enter the fort and kill dwarves) is delayed and takes greater levels of agitation to reach and
b) the early effects of agitation are replaced by animals having an increasingly high chance to become enraged and attack other creatures on-sight and enter lethal combat instead of an encounter, but not intentionally pursuing them.

I do usually change the agitation settings in savage embarks now, because it happens very early and theres no warning or lead-up to it, youre just suddenly beset by giant birds.

I agree with your sentiment (and proposed change), making the agitation “meter” degrade faster would also be wise.
