Do cows have knee caps

Answer 1

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.
