If you're paused on embark, it could be animals in the same square...

No idea otherwise. Flashing, as in flashing on the map? Like flashing between dwarf face and K or R?

I think I worked it out, it was the hunter carrying dead animals?

When a creature is carrying an item, its map icon will flash between the creature and the item. Corpses are represented by the character used for that creature, but with a dark red background.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
