No. Actually, the elephant is the only animal with four knees.
Yes, the dinosaurs that have two legs only have two knees. If the dinosaurs have four legs it has four knees
Horses have two knees, one on each foreleg. The equivalent joint in the hindlegs is called the hock.
Elephants are the only animals that have four knees. Their hind legs and fore legs bend just the same. Elephants can gain top speed of 7m/sec without running.
No animal has four knees - including elephants! This is a bad myth gone out of control. If you don't believe me, actually have a look at a skeleton of one. Simple really.The joint on the front legs of any four-legged herbivore, such as horses, cows, elephants, deer, sheep and goats that resemble our own knees (and are often informally labeled as such) is actually called the carpus - the cluster of bones that form the wrist. The real knees on animals are located on the hind legs just like humans, which are often referred to as the stifle joint.
An elephant, just like all quadruped animals, have only two knees. The knees on animals are located on the hind legs just like humans, which are often referred to as the stifle joint.The joint on the front legs of any four-legged herbivore, such as horses, cows, elephants, deer, sheep and goats that resemble our own knees (and are often informally labeled as such) is actually called the carpus - the cluster of bones that form the wrist.
They don't. No quadruped (four-legged) animal has four knees.The joint on the front legs of any four-legged herbivore such as horses, cows, elephants, deer, sheep and goats that resemble our own knees (and are often informally labeled as such) is actually called the carpus - the cluster of bones that form the wrist. The real knees on animals are located on the hind legs just like humans, which are often referred to as the stifle joint. These are often found close to the animal's belly.

i think it has four because it has four legs
They have 2 knees, each with one patella. So they have 2 patellas, not four. These are located on their hind legs. Their front legs have elbows, not knees.
No. No quadrupeds have four knees, it is just that on some, the proportions make them look as if they do. On the front legs of giraffes, the part that looks like a knee is actually a wrist. EDIT: The original poster is wrong, Elephants have 4 knees.
Elephants are the only animals that have four knees. Their hind legs and fore legs bend just the same. Elephants can gain top speed of 7m/sec without running.
2. A previous answer here said four, however only elephants have four knees. A rhino's legs rotate like a dog or cats, so they only have 2 knees.
no a elephant cannot jump it is the only mammal with four knees.
Four men, bend at the knees.
Because they extend four inches below the knees
they have 4 legs also they are there to protect the joint

On all fours, means on hands and knees. But, I don't know what 'on all four corners' means unless it is referring to the four corners of a table or bureau.
