Finally completed the survivalist and hunter challenge by getting "Khan" the Jaguar, "Lobo" the wolf and "Burmas" the bear (which took a while to find...I searched the same location 2wice and he was there the 2nd time).....Completed the Treasure challenge a minute ago but the survivalist challenge took a good minute to pass.
I've also found some beavers in the great palins area on the shores by blackwater....
