Just started a fortress in a thoroughly haunted locale, and was surprised to note a herd of live elephants wandering about, even more surprised to note that the herd is a mixture of live and undead elephants and they seem to be getting along just fine. Not a big problem or anything just kind of... wierd.

Makes sense to me.  The elephants collapsed, died, stood back up, and rejoined their herd.

Edit: Gameplay-wise, that may mean that elephants are peaceful with elephants, regardless of whether they're alive or not.

Pretty sure that's a result of a fix of a previous bug, in which "new" undead that wandered into the area would get into fights with the undead which were already there.

Sort of unfortunate, since I have a tendency to embark in areas with haunted lakes/rivers and the first thing to happen is always a massive live-fish kill...

[edit: fixed unclarity. Or something.]

This should be a feature! Undead fighting for territory, FTW!

Seems to me there's two kinds of undead: Mindless malevolent, like a zombie horror movie, and friendly-yet-falling-apart, like a zombie comedy movie.
