So I was pondering why is it animals make a certain call, ie why don't cows go baa and sheep go moo?

Pondering such inane imponderables exercises our brain just as efficiently as musing
on the weightier issues.
I myself have long wondered why doing this can only be done by females,
what extra bones have males got that prevents us from gazing at the backs of
our own knees ?

On a similar note, how the hell can woman bend their arms at the elbows beyond the arm being straight?
Freaks me out that.
Did you just make that up?It's a redundant trait of evolution from females holding offspring out whilst roaming/migrating, say when crossing rivers or brush etc. The elbow would "lock in" to help with the extended arms holding all the weight.

What I find funny - I know 1-2 girls who do all that pole dancing, etc. stuff and they are always moaning about back problems and other health issues, etc. and don't seem to have connected the two...
200 quid. You can know a few.Wish I knew some pole dancers![]()

Animal calls are all based on a variety of factors. Primarily, what ecological niche they fit into. Cows, for example, roam wide open spaces where deeper sounds travel further. They're also quite a large ungulate hence their voice chords are sufficiently large to produce such a sound. In the case of sheep, its a similar story. However sheep (even historically before domestication) roam also wide open spaces, often rocky and hilly, but with many hundreds of other sheep. Their particular baaa call contains more varying frequencies than a simple moo, and so individuals can be identified by their young, mothers etc.So I was pondering why is it animals make a certain call, ie why don't cows go baa and sheep go moo?
