Yes, because they may have a little trouble bending their hind legs if they didn't...
Not exactly. A cow's knees are actually equivalent to our wrists, not like the knees we have on our legs, and are found on the front legs, not the back like ours would be if we stood on "four legs." The TRUE "knees" on a cow is up in her body under the pelvis and is not visible unless she is dead and all her organs, skin, muscle and cartilage has been removed revealing her entire skeletal structure. Such an area on a cow's hind legs are not as flexible as our legs, which is why it is not seen on these large domesticated ungulates.
Tadpoles first grow hind legs and then front legs. the hind leg appear right where the tail starts
Kodiak bears can reach heights of up to 10 feet (3 meters) when standing on their hind legs.
Of course they do! how would they walk if they didnt?? You probably just cant see it when they are kittens because they are so tiny.
Cats do not have shins. Their hind legs are elongated with a single bone, the femur, which runs from the hip to the knee joint. The lower part of their hind legs consists of bones like the tibia and fibula, but no shins as in humans.
The ears of a cricket are located on the knee joints of its hind legs. Weird, huh?
Yes they do. They are taller when on their hind legs.
Try the joints: hip, knee, ankle.
Polar Bears stand 12 feet tall on it's hind legs and are 5 feet at the shoulder on all fours. Kodiak Bears stand 10 feet tall on it's hind legs and are 5 feet at the shoulder on all fours. Grizzly Bears stand 9 feet tall on it's hind legs and are 4 feet tall at the shoulder on all fours.
usually the hind legs of the horse, restricting the movement and flexion of the joints.
Sometimes bears do this to warn their prey and sometimes they do it just to look at what lies ahead.

Black bears are large animals. They stand two to three feet tall at the shoulder when they are on all four legs. When they stand on their hind legs, they can be as tall as five feet. Black bears actually come in all shades of color from true black to very pale brown!
they are special because they are the only bears that can stand on their hind legs

When doing jumping jacks, you primarily use your hip, knee, and shoulder joints. Your hip joints help with the leg movements, your knee joints assist in bending and straightening your legs, and your shoulder joints perform the arm movements.
