Joint legged animals are also called Arthropods. Here are a few: arachnids Oscorpions daddy-longlegs mites & ticks piders horseshoe crabs centipedes millipedes insects
The sets of bones that support the limbs of vertebrates are called appendicular skeleton. It includes the bones of the upper and lower limbs, as well as their associated girdles (shoulder and hip). These bones provide the framework for movement and support in vertebrate animals.
Both looks same in many ways. The position of mouth, nostrils and eyes are similar. Both have two fore limbs and two hind limbs. The parts of the limbs are similar. Both have the head, thorax and abdomen. Both have the ventral and dorsal aspects in their bodies.
Yes, most terrestrial animals have limbs to move on land. Limbs provide support and facilitate locomotion, helping animals navigate their environment and perform essential activities like hunting, feeding, and fleeing from predators. The structure and function of limbs can vary greatly across different species, allowing for a diverse range of movement adaptations.
Most amphibians have four limbs. However, some species have lost limbs or adapted to different environments, leading to variations in the number of limbs among different amphibian species.
A Lion has four limbs (legs) two fore and two hind.
fore legs and hind legs. Fore legs are the two front ones.
Frogs push off their back limbs to jump, which makes them more powerful
Example of vertebrates (having a spinal column) could be humans, whose fore limbs are arms, as we stand upright. Then there are animals like the horse, whose fore limbs (indeed all four limbs) are actually legs.
The fore limbs are longer, yes.

The forelimbs of frogs are primarily designed to support the hind limbs during sitting and walking. The back limbs are the ones designed for jumping.
Seals have around 34-36 bones in their fore-flippers (front limbs) and about 26-30 bones in their hind-flippers (back limbs), totaling to approximately 60-66 bones in their skeleton.
A Tasmanian devil has bilateral symmetry, as usual for mammals. One unusual feature of this animal is an asymmetric running gait. The fore limbs move normally, but the rear limbs don't. The fore and aft motion of the left rear-leg is very noticeably shorter than that of the right - the devil runs as if one leg is injured.
Yes. A walrus has fore and hind limbs that are modified into flippers. The foreflippers have tiny claws and the hind flippers have large claws on the three middle digits.
The hind limbs are much longer than the forelimbs, but forelimb to hind limb ratio is quite variable. Toads and toad-like anurans have relatively short hind limbs.
