Don't want to post this to bugs because this is somewhat WAD, but all animals on the map beeline to leave the map as soon as the temperature ticks to 61C. It's a little unusual that all animals decide at exactly the same time to leave the map. One easy way to fix this would be to either make specific animals have slightly different min/max comfortable temperatures, such that groups of animals will leave as the world gets too warm, rather than all at once. The other option would be to make each individual animal have slightly different max comfortable temperatures, or randomize the temperature above the max comfortable temperature in which they would leave (so one animal will leave when it is only 58C, but another would leave at 63C, for example).

irl animals also leave an area if it's too cold, as well as when a tsunami or an earthquake is about to happen...

I was wondering what caused all my animals to leave... I made a game on coldest planet in coldest area of the planet I could and made one in the hottest and hottest I could find. And the cold biome is easier to deal with IMO. You cant keep fridges cool enough during the heat, you need far less power production on a cold biome (if you are in a biome that is at hottest temps your crops need to be in a cooled room which is kinda silly- I think crops to match the weather would be cool...)

Smaller animals (that do not have tendency to travel much in their lives) should never leave the map because of temp though, and wargs shouldn't be in the ice sheet biomes when you get manhunter groups after you, they should be muffalo, caribou elk etc (you can have elk as part of those manhunters, elk are actually pretty dangerous animals and harm or kill humans every year in north America - excluding car crashes that hurt the human also obv)

The strangest part is when you're in a hot jungle (average temp above 120F) so there's utterly no animals in the jungle. It's disturbing. But yeah, it seems like animals tolerate cold temperatures better than hot temperatures ATM.
