A camel? A camel?
A giraffe is a savanna animal with padded, hairy, and callused knees. Their knees are padded with thick skin and hair to protect them as they frequently kneel down to drink water or graze on vegetation.
No. Actually, the elephant is the only animal with four knees.
Flamingos are known to eat while kneeling, with specialized leg joints to support this posture. These birds have special adaptation in their legs with thickened skin and cartilage to provide padding for their knees when kneeling to feed.
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.
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.

Having knees...

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.
It means that you get down on your hands and knees, and stand like a four legged animal, 'on all fours'.
Most mammals (e.g. horses and dogs) have knees that bend the way human knees do. However, when you look at a mammal's leg, the knee is not in the same place you're used to finding it. Many four-legged animals actually walk on their toes, and have elongated feet and ankle bones. Take a look at a dog or horse skeleton on the internet, and you can see that what seems to be a "backward bending knee" is actually the animal's ankle!
I don`t know... my Grandpa??? NO really it`s a wild bore.
