0003110: Blood pools/splatterings/smears spontaneous apperance

Notes

I suspect this is the case in this report.

When I start a fortress, I start getting food mainly from fishing and hunting, when there is little threat of of enemies. Then I move to start farming and butchering as my only source. The blood in question was a deer blood pool and splatter, I had no deer on the map, none being raised, and none caged. It spawned 14 Z levels above ground, where the deer died. It was on top of a tower I was constructing at the time, and only 2 people had ever been there. The only way I can think it got there is from teleporting or spawning up there.
