How did the ram get up there

dwarf-fortress

Suddenly, I found my huntsdwarf's ram on the wall. There has never been any ramp or stairs up there, so how could it have happened?

I'm in an Untamed Wilds biome, and have seen flying (non-aggressive) wild animals. Could any of them have put the ram up there?

In combat, it's possible to dodge up a Z-level onto the top of an adjacent wall, without any kind of stairway or ramp. Hysterical strength, I guess. It's a little-known phenomenon because the circumstances for it are pretty rare. That's probably what happened to your ram.
