Enshrouded Animals & Pets (1.0): Taming, Bait, Feeders
The 1.0 files hold 9 farm animals and 6 pets (3 cats, 3 dogs). The Farmer makes a bait for 7 of the farm animals — Goat Food Bait, Hophare Food Bait, Fae Deer Food Bait and more — plus their food, feeders and pillows. Taming progress shows as hearts and startling the animal costs you some of it; a world holds up to 128 animals.

Animal names here come from the items the files name for them — "Goat Food Bait" tells us the Goat. 2 farm animals have no bait or food with an English name, so they keep their file id. We found no mount in the 1.0 files we read, which is not proof there is none.
Every tameable animal
The journal's farm-animal collection, with what the Farmer makes for each (matched by the animal word in the file ids). Every bait and food takes 3 min 30 s to make. The feeders and the journal's animals themselves have no English names in the files, and no Farmer recipe matches 2 of the animals.

How taming works
Keen's 1.0 server readme describes it through a setting, Taming failure repercussions: "This setting allows defining how the game reacts when the player startles the wildlife during taming. Progress is visualized by hearts in the game." The options are KeepProgress, LoseSomeProgress, LoseAllProgress; the default is LoseSomeProgress.
