Animals may chew their own legs off due to extreme stress, injury, or illness. In some cases, this behavior can be a response to parasitic infestations or severe pain, where the animal attempts to relieve itself from suffering. Additionally, in captive environments, stressors such as confinement or lack of stimulation can lead to self-mutilation behaviors. Overall, it's a manifestation of distress or survival instinct.
