Technically, they have the [domestic] tag in the [[Raws]]. They can be bought at [[embark]], or [[trade]]d for with [[caravan]]s. Wild versions of domesticated animals (horses, muskoxen, etc) can be [[tame]]d, as can almost any wild animal. |

Fortresses have no use for a wagon after, except to break it up for wood, so these two animals can be slaughtered, or kept for breeding and making your dwaves [[preferences|happy]]. |

It's ''possible'' to get a breeding pair, but the odds are heavily against it, or even guessing which species/gender either will be. | ||
