The ancient pictogram of the character "母" was formed by adding two dots to the character "女"(woman). Those two dots represented a woman's breasts, because feeding a baby with breasts is a unique feature of a mother. In modern Chinese, "母" can be used to generally refer to a female animal, like "母猴" (female monkey), "母猪" (female pig), "母马" (female horse), etc.
