A farmer saw 4 heads 10 legs and 3 tails
Animals have long tails for various reasons such as balance, communication, protection, and locomotion. Tails help animals to counterbalance their body weight, express emotions or signals to other animals, defend themselves from predators, and even aid in swimming or climbing.
Some animals that have 2 legs include birds, kangaroos, and humans. These animals have evolved for bipedal locomotion which allows them to move efficiently on two legs.
On this farm there would be a total of 18 cows. There would also be 18 chickens, combining to make 36 heads and 104 legs.
a lion has five diffrent apendages because appendages are arms legs and tails
I assume the question is, 'why do dogs have tails?' and partly the tail is used to help with its balance. Also the tail plays a major role in the communication of dogs. For example, if the tail is between the legs, it shows that the dog is afraid.
Assuming that all of the animals are "normal" (no amputees, 2-headed mutations, etc.) : 15 cows (15 x 4 = 60 legs) plus 5 chickens (5 x 2 = 10 legs) gives a total of 20 heads and 70 legs.
um heads tails legs and well......butts
Two men and two dogs
They lose their tails, not legs.
ANSWER* the farmer has 130 pigs. you usually solve these problems with diagrams but since there are larger numbers i did it this way: there are 220 animals, and you know that they all have at least two legs. 220 x 2 = 440. you have 700 legs all together, so you subtract. 700 - 440= 260. you need 260 more legs. since you already accounted for each to have two legs, you need to divide 260 by 2 to see how many animals need two more legs, to equal four. (a pig.) 260/2= 130. therefore, 130 animals have four legs, making 130 pigs.
8 emus have 16 legs and 6 cows have 24 legs.
I don't know, but I'd guess it's something pretty scary!!! And predacious.
well, since the average person has 2 legs and 1 head, i would say that there are more heads on earth
Let c represent the number of chickens and p represent the number of pigs.Since chickens and pigs have one head each, 70 heads = c + p.Since chickens have 2 legs and pigs have 4 legs, 200 legs = 2c + 4p.Subtracting twice the first equation (140 = 2c + 2p) from the second, we get60 = 2porp = 30 pigsRewriting the first equation as c = 70 - p, we get c = 40 chickens.
Sometimes farmers will dock the tails of sheep so that they do not grow a tail. They may also do this to pigs to keep them from attacking each others tails.
They swim or crawl like moving there body back and forth
