Best Answer

Most of the time, meal worms walk forwards, but sometimes they walk backwards. They often do this when they dislike something. For example, when blown on with a straw, the meal worm will walk backwards because it dislikes being blown on. So, in simpler words, they walk backwards sometimes because of fear.

12. Can emus walk backwards?

It is believed that emus cannot walk backwards, as no evidence exists to the contrary. That is why, together with the kangaroo (which also cannot walk backwards), the emu is on the Australian coat-of-arms, symbolising progression forwards. Whether or not emus can or cannot walk backwards has never been definitively proven, as the phenomenon of them walking backwards has been neither observed nor recorded. It is believed that the joints in their knees make it impossible for them to walk backwards.
