looks like they should have been culled if they were born and killed in the same year. I doubt they would have gotten to 'legendary' status.

What sorts of animals are these?  Normally they wouldn't even be given entries.  Did they deserve names?  Did their unit representations (the thing running around) have names?

This happened to me in earlier versions (that didn't have culling) with dogs that "fell" from a tower. Legends stated: ", was killed by colliding with an obstacle."

And I'm fairly certain they didn't do anything worth getting a name, but I might have put them up for adoption.

Do their entities mean anything to you?  Were the muskox and llama trader animals?  Know anything about those puppies?  Historical figure status should not be conferred on to unnamed animals, so it'll be something specific about the animals in question (possibly multiple things if this is common).  Just putting them up for adoption doesn't seem to trigger it.

Pretty sure the muskox and llama were trader animals. Elven trader animals who got slaughtered by goblins. The puppies, as far as I remember, are only unique in the fact that their mother had a name because she killed a goblin.

That's about it. If it helps, the fortress was destroyed completely by a goblin ambush in spring of the second year.
