Note this is only in the report heading, opening the report shows the correct 'donkey foal' on each line item.

I've seen this with several creatures, such as dogs.

Same actually goes for nobles: while everything else uses their proper and actual title (swordsman, soapmaker, *insertcustomtitle*, whatever, etc.) nobles will use their default title (for example swordsman or soapmaker depending on active status instead of "militia commander" or "baron" etc)

its possibly related to the fact that in dwarf therapist you wont see noble titles too, so its in another datafield instead of the default title one.
