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.
A horse has four knees, with their front legs having joint structures that are commonly referred to as "knees." These joints are actually the equivalent of wrists in humans, while the hind legs have traditional knees.
Many four-legged mammals have 4 knees (joints from which the lower leg bends backward) : cows, horses, elephants, rhinos.
Animals such as dogs and cats have forward-angled lower legs on their hind legs, with the knees higher up. The forepaws are roughly analogous to human elbows.
None. All quadruped animals have only two knees. The knees on animals are located on the hind legs just like humans, which are often referred to as the stifle joint. 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.
