Animal Information Thread + Poll (A17 Updated)

Cats aren't in the poll! :<

Though I have no valid reason other than 'I love cats'. Fun fact: When I was watching someone play RimWorld to see if I'd be interested, I kept hearing their colonist's pet cat meow. That sealed it for me.

As for the pet lists: I found this thread by accident when googling 'are megatherium worth taming', so I'm not sure if I'll be much help. I've had a tribe trader bring Capybaras for trade (I hadn't gotten to the point where I can receive trade ships yet), and I had Chinchillas spawn wild on a jungle map.

I'm not entirely sure how to go about getting all the info you need, but if it helps, I lucked out and got a breeding pair of arctic foxes from a trader. They've had three litters so far, each one with two pups, so that might be the standard. Sadly, though, I didn't think to keep track of the gestation period. :<

----------

ETA: So, just had my fourth litter of arctic fox pups. So far, I've had three two-pup litters, and one three-pup litter. According to the wiki, their litters are 1-3 pups, so either I've been lucky, or multi-pup litters are more common than singles.

Probably not the most useful of critters -- they're fairly tiny compared to other hauling animals, but damn are they adorable. Plus, apparently they reach full maturity fairly quickly, and though they can't haul very heavy things, they're kinda useful when it comes to harvesting farms.

----------

ETA2: Nine litters, and I finally got my first single pup. That makes six 2, two 3, and one 1.

----------

ETA3: And as soon as I hit save, I get two more litters of two pups each.

It's the cow.
The quantity of milk produced is unmached by any other animal.

For a farm;
Place a stockpile in animal area, 2x1 or 2x2 blocks, and set it to store particular animal at important priority. This will help feeding them in large population.

Chicken are worth Taming, and breed faster than any animals there is, they also need fewer nutrition (vegetarian) intake to stay nourished. I had two pairs once and a year later almost 150 hen and rooster. selectively slaughtered the rooster, in the process.

Wildboar are the second fast to breed animal, but they eat lot, hence needing much nutrition (vegetarian, meat), simply make them a simple meal to preserve food bin.

Best animal to train by now are Golden Retriever, they breed nicely, nice melee, can be trained to haul, and rescue.

Heya. I'll do these if no one took them:

Lynx - No-one Currently
Megatherium - No-one Currently
Red Fox - No-one Currently
Panther - No-one Currently

Hope that's fine with you! 

EDIT - I've actually completed them all, I just need to know where to put it!

[Aleksh]

I would do the rest as well, but I want others to  make some themselves. It would seem rude.

You still omit bears...

Huskies are a familiar animal. It's easy to imagine a husky getting into trouble with the drug supply, or jumping into something it's not supposed to just for the hell of it. Sometimes they're too smart for their own good. one of my favourite trainable animals in rimworld

Agreed. They are no doubt one of the best possible animals to have, as they have a great mental capacity and can be taught to do their jobs fast. They are also very versatile, as their attack is a good asset to have in your team.
