Animal sounds in foreign languages

I like it when Chinese pigs say "hu-lu hu-lu," it's so exotic. Stupid American pigs just say oink. Also, horses in Thailand say "hee hee (with high tone)"!! How cool is it that, first, they even HAVE horses in Thailand, and second, that they sound like Betty Boop?

I've always wondered if same breed animals from different locations have 'accents' to each other.

They say "bu-bu, bu-bu" in Japan.

Why would they not have horses in Thailand?
