You can pick up vermin, but not larger animals like sheep/cow/fox/boar/bear.

For those you can "lift" and move around.

I've frequently found the hit box for a dead rabbit it a bit tricky, try around it's little bloody bunny nose

The problem lies with Z-ordering in hit detection; it doesn't work quite as it should at present, so it is likely that you're "hitting" the blood pool underneath the cadaver. Try clicking on the part of the cadaver that is outside the blood pool.

Yes, it will be fixed.

@ loftar: It could also be because dead chickens can't be picked up yet. Just a thought. ;)

Ah, I see; you were trying to pick up a chicken. That won't work, indeed. Chickens haven't been given real cadavers yet. They're a bit of a work in progress.

So far... You'll just have to roleplay licking the chicken.
