Trainable Animals in 2010

I´m playing a bit with the newest version at the moment and just got the happy announcement, that my animal trainer trained a "war leopard" (much to my surprise). So I was curious and searched all the creature files for trainable animals and it seems like the amount of potential war/hunting animals has increased greatly in 2010. The animals I found are:

- Dog (duh...)
- Leopard
- Lion
- Tiger
- Jaguar
- Cheetah
- Mandrill
- Gorilla
- Grizzly bear
- Polar bear
- Giant eagle (!)
- Elephant (!!)
- Giant bat (hunting only)
- Giant cave swallow (hunting only)
- Dragon (!!!)

I guess this is already common knowledge but I just wanted to list them here for general convenience. Maybe we shall also include this in the article. ~ Felcis 08:26, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

How to train?

I have a cage with dogs in the same area as my kennels. Requesting that an animal be trained as a war dog, however, gave me the message "Urist McTrainer cancels Train War Animal: No creature". I believe Urist had been looking for the (appropriate) animal for some time, and at the point she gave up she was a country mile away from the kennels.

So: how does the trainer decide which animal will be trained? And where does she then look for the animal? Is it possible to specify which animal should be trained (and if so, how)?
