I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Through their trunks, obviously. And the big lumps on their heads are a bit of extra room for their lungs and stomach. :P

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

For comparison:


As a matter of fact in mythology Rocs are know for their carrying off and eating of elephants.

Still a chokehold with a wing is a very remarkable feat to pull out, no matter the size.

Please.  A choke hold with a wing is much more plausible than the mother horse grabbing her foal by the nose with her left rear hoof and grappling him into submission.

Apply hoof onto nose.
Apply pressure onto nose through application of hoof.
Success.

Rear foot. Nose. Locking into a grapple. I don't believe success would be achievable without the laws of Armok to rule over petty things like physics or common sense.
