A quadruped is an animal that normally walks or runs on four legs.
The word comes from the Latin words quad (four) and ped (foot).
A quadruped is a land mammal that walks on four feet.
The term "quadruped" has its root in Latin language - "quad" meaning "four," and "ped" meaning "feet" - so the term literally means "four feet."
Most animals that walk are considered quadrupeds, although it's important to note that not all four-limbed vertebrates - also known as tetrapods - fall into the quadruped category.
Humans, for instance, have four limbs, but only two of those limbs are used for walking, therefore humans fall into the category of a biped - an animal that uses two legs to travel. Notably, birds are also considered bipedal.
The word "quadruped" is from the Latin words quad (four) and ped (foot). A quadruped is any four-legged animal.

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

Humans and pigs have almost the exact same digestive systems and circulatory/respiratory systems. This can be seen when opening up a dead fetal pig. Pigs are monogastrics and naturally omnivores, just like humans are, and when pigs are out of the barn and not on a grain diet and allowed to feed themselves (like many feral pigs do), their diets are just as varied in animal proteins and plant matter just like we are.
