Make sure the animals are only ones that lived in mainland Europe or the UK at the time. Say, we would'nt have an american bison but a european one. Also remake boars so that they are larger, faster, stronger and have a high armour (Boars are extremely thick skinned) Deer could spawn in different types like the birds from the  Exotic Birds Mod with mirkwood having a larger version that you could ride, they would look like the one seen in the hobbit witch in non-canon I know but so are the boars and the elk anyway, they have much wider antlers than other deer and would only spawn in northern mirkwood. Ironically the elk and other deer stay away from trees as their antlers can get tangled, making them easy prey to wolves. Wolves, bears and other preadatory animals could hunt the smaller creatures, in the way of a boar, moose or large deer it could be a bit of a struggle. The deer should run but stand and fight when cornered, smaller deer doing next to nothing but larger ones dealing massive knockback and running away after the first attack. The black squirrels also lived in Mirkwood.
