What do you call it when the knee of an animal is backwards?
This concept is referred to as a misconception, because animals do not have backward knees. The part you think is a backward knee is equivalent (homologous) to your ankle. Notice that your ankle bends "backward." Animals have forward bending knees, just like you, but they are often overlooked. Look higher up on the animal and you will see their homologous knee. In some animals, there is a lot of muscle and/or loose skin over the area, so it looks like a rounded hunch near their hips.Stand up. Lean over. Bend your knees a bit. Now stretch your t-shirt down over your knees. This is how you might imagine many animals having 'hidden' knees.
Are elephants the only animals with four knees?
No animal has four knees - including elephants! This is a bad myth gone out of control. If you don't believe me, actually have a look at a skeleton of one. Simple really.The joint on the front legs of any four-legged herbivore, such as horses, cows, elephants, deer, sheep and goats that resemble our own knees (and are often informally labeled as such) is actually called the carpus - the cluster of bones that form the wrist. The real knees on animals are located on the hind legs just like humans, which are often referred to as the stifle joint.

Which way do animal's knees bend?
Most mammals (e.g. horses and dogs) have knees that bend the way human knees do. However, when you look at a mammal's leg, the knee is not in the same place you're used to finding it. Many four-legged animals actually walk on their toes, and have elongated feet and ankle bones. Take a look at a dog or horse skeleton on the internet, and you can see that what seems to be a "backward bending knee" is actually the animal's ankle!
