But not so tanky, just 1 sniper shot... That's why I prefer less of bigger ones!

I recommend boomrats. They take one sniper shot too, but it's put to good use

I don't want to burn my map, so not. Raw firepower is better than suiciders.

Once again, no poll entry for grizzlies, although they are in the info list -.-'.

Yeah, I missed them out. It's fixed now.

There are a lot of animals I like, Timber Wolves, large Dogs, Grizzleys, Cows, Chickens, to name a few, but my favorite has to be Muffalo. They're just so useful for so many things. They're pack animals (perfect for caravans), give milk, give wool, give meat and hides when slaughtered.

Every colony, I always try to get a good muffalo herd going.

Don't forget, they make excellent cannon fodder

Muffalo are almost certainly the most useful, overall, but I like having grizzlies and the occasional megasloth.  Only people who don't have enough animal training get "mere" dogs or pigs/boars (carefully tended so they do NOT breed).  One reason for my bear preference, is that they get a VERY useful "stun" effect on many attacks.  That, and well, they're bears =).

Note:  No, bears are NOT in the poll, just the info list.  Just checked.

Nah, they're too useful as caravan animals and milk+wool producers.

So do I, of course, dogs are VERY useful as extra haulers. My current game I have quite the pack of huskies going right now, and even a German shepherd from a mod, and they get a ton of work done. Saves my valuable human colonists for when I need something specific hauled, or to do other jobs. Of course, Grizzlies can learn to haul too.

I have added them 3 times, it must be a glitch of some sort. Are they there now? Forigve me, I thought I'd added them but something must have gone awry during saving of the post.

[Bozobub]

Yeah, appears as the very last item now (definitely did not before ).  Thanks.

Ah, good to see. No problem bud

[Seriously Unserious]

I'm seeing them right at the bottom of the poll. There's a lot of options there so you may need to use your browser's Search function to find the one you want to vote for in that list.

[Bozobub]

Problem already solved.
