What do you call it when the knee of an animal is backwards?
Kissmachine1000
This concept is referred to as a misconception, because animals do not have backward knees. The part you think is a backward knee is equivalent (homologous) to your ankle. Notice that your ankle bends "backward." Animals have forward bending knees, just like you, but they are often overlooked. Look higher up on the animal and you will see their homologous knee. In some animals, there is a lot of muscle and/or loose skin over the area, so it looks like a rounded hunch near their hips.
Stand up. Lean over. Bend your knees a bit. Now stretch your t-shirt down over your knees. This is how you might imagine many animals having 'hidden' knees.

What animals have forward bending knees?
No animal has knees that can bend backwards. What appear to be knees bending backwards on animals - particularly noticeable on four-legged mammals and birds - is actually the ankle joint. The real knee joint is found much further up, often against the animal's waist. In birds, the knee joint is hidden in feathers. Birds, and most mammals walk on their toes. The actual foot bone is the long bone that extends from the bird's toes to the ankle joint.
