Why do cows moo not roar?

Because they can. It's a form of vocalization that tells other animals (other cattle, humans, etc.) whether they are looking for a lost friend or calf, hungry, ready for battle, in pain, dying, in heat and looking for a mate, etc.

But really, in real life, cows don't make a "moo" noise. It's more of a "mmmrraaww" noise. The description of the noise a cow makes in the English language is the best representation in as few letters as possible that we can make.

Can a male pot belly pigs be born without testicles?

I do not know the answer to this for sure, however, I recently took our 7 week old male pot belly pig to be neutered, and the vet cut where the testicles should be...and found none. She then cut higher and again found none what-so-ever. She stated that he was either born without both testicles (rare - less than 1% born without both testicles), or that they are in his abdomen. She then advised to keep an eye on him for another month and see if any testicles descend or if he becomes aggressive and gets that musky male odor that intact boars get. If so, we are to take him back and if no testicles have descended, then she will have to open his abdomen and look around in there to see if that is where they are. If she does not find the testicles there, then it will mean that he was born without both testicles. I would love to have a clear answer from someone "in the know" on this however. Thanks
