Muffalo
Muffalo
A large herding herbivore descended from buffalo and adapted for both cold and warm environments. While enraged muffalo are deadly, tamed muffalo are quite docile and can be used as pack animals.
Nobody is quite sure why they're blue - it might even be some early genetic modification test that just never got changed.

Muffalo are slow-moving, grass-grazing quadrupeds analogous to buffalo.
Taming
Muffalo can be found in temperate forests, temperate swamps, boreal forests, cold bogs, tundra, ice sheets, and sea ice. They can either be tamed by a handler or self-tame in a random event.
Muffalo can be bought and sold in other faction bases and from bulk goods traders. Muffalo purchased from traders will be already tamed.
Summary
Muffalo can be sheared for 
120 alpaca wool ( 324) every 15 days.
Muffalo are also pack animals, and will carry up to 84 kg of weight in a caravan. They cannot be ridden.
Analysis
Muffalo arrive in large packs; a herd of muffalo can be a lifesaver in colder biomes. Two or three muffalo usually provide enough leather (or wool if you are willing to tame them) to make a parka as well as a generous amount of meat. But, if enraged, a herd can be a large threat to colonists.
As a pack animal, muffalo are inferior to horses (though better for nutrition/weight than other animals). As a wool animal, muffalo are inferior to alpaca and sheep. The benefit of muffalo is that they can be found in colder biomes. In a tundra or ice sheet, the only pack animal available is the muffalo. They can survive cold temperatures that would kill most other pack animals. Their wool and leather is also great for cold insulation.
They are almost identical to bison, the main differences being comfortable temperature, leather type, and wool type.
