How many legs that centipede have?

Answer 1

It varies depending on the species. Although 'centi' means 100, no species have been found with that many legs. All centipedes have one pair of legs for each body segment, and the largest is the Geophilomorpha with 29 segments or 58 legs.

Answer 2

They look a lot like crabs and many have the word 'crab' in their name, but are not true crabs. Anomurans can be told apart by the number of legs: crabs have ten legs, including claws, while the last pair of an anomuran's legs is hidden inside the shell, so that only eight legs are visible.

Answer 3

Centipedes, which are members of the class Chilopoda, always have an uneven number of pairs of walking legs, ranging from 15 to more than 171. The true centipedes (order Scolopendromorpha) have either 21 or 23 pairs of legs. Common house centipedes (Scutigera coleoptrato) have 15 pairs of legs.

The centipede is named by the number of legs it possesses. If you ever forget and ask yourself "how many legs does a centipede have?" just look at the prefix on the name. 'Cent' translates to mean 100 and there is your answer.

Although some species of centipede do indeed have 100 legs it can vary from less than 100 to 200. Therefore it is more correct to say that a centipede can have 100 legs rather than it does have this many.

Answer 4

Centipedes have a variable number of legs depending on the species, but they typically have between 30 to 354 legs. Each body segment of a centipede has one pair of legs attached to it.
