If you capture an animal, and tame it, then the wild ones start breeding. Especially if you have a male of the species tamed and loose.

Corrolary to this: if you capture a mother animal, its children will hang around the site of the trap. And, I believe, their children's children. I like to think they are "looking for mommy".

I think this is only the case if the mother is still alive. I do not know. the uncaptured flock finally died out, outbred by the captured ones.

NOTE: this is useful if you have a flock of something kept around your back entrance so that you know if there are ambushes hanging about there. Unlike pets, they usually aren't attacked by ambushers, just noticed.

PROBLEM: merchant mercenaries WILL kill them, however. Poor penguins.

Corrolary to the corrolary: children of YOURS that are kidnapped have a similar effect, whereby you can "view" their location and see... the spot they were captured. The game still thinks they are there: I do not see this as a bug. Why shouldn't they be remembered? You can now build a statue on the site as a memorial, or a trap, or whathaveyou.

Corrolary to the corrolary corrolary: captured children say they are "happy to be free" in their profile scren.

Be useful if my current fort had any wildlife left. All it had was a giant eagle, some camels, a few hoary marmots, and a bunch of sasquatches after I had Eddie the Giant Eagle
shot.
They're all dead now, so I'm setting everyone to hunting and piling on the armour.

Corrolary to the corrolary corrolary: captured children say they are "happy to be free" in their profile scren.

What.

Dwarven children get a happy thought from being freed of opressive dwarven culture and brought up with proper goblin ideals.
