[40d16] [probably not a bug] Muskox calved 1 year after embark, no male in sight
« on: September 18, 2009, 03:48:10 am »
A female muskox calved one year after embark, but there are no male muskox in sight, not in the unit list, not in the elven caravan that just came.
The only explaination I have is, that there could have been a male muskox pulling the wagon in a dwarven caravan earlier - is it (the mating in this case) even possible?
Or are they pregnant that long?

Yeah, that would do it -- as long as there's an uncaged male somewhere on the map, the female can get pregnant.  It's for this reason that people joke that DF animals reproduce via spores.
