  My cousin, when she was little, when asked how many legs a cat has, she said: "Five." Turned out she counted the tail as extra leg lol

  Crabs, 10 legs. Two are used as pinchers, two at the back are used as flippers while swimming. Imagine they evolve one more time to convert another pair of legs to be wings. Truly the pinnacle of evolution

  It is worth noting that sometimes bears just.. randomly choose not to walk on all fours, for no apparent reason, but that&apos;s pretty rare.

  I really like this more casual and humorous tone. It really differentiates this from a lot of the drier and more serious zoological content I watch.

  I wish you had included mudskippers. I would put them in the three legged category, as they use a sort of tripod locomotion. It&apos;s interesting to speculate what fully land animals might look like if they evolved from mudskippers.

  I&apos;m surprised you didn&apos;t add spider monkeys and other animals with prehensile tails to the 5 leg count. &nbsp;Also, on that note, a seahorse could be said to have a single &quot;leg&quot; with its tail.

  I was animating a crazy model with a lot of legs and tentacles, and researching the optimization of models for how much processing power it takes to animate them and I found out that the more bones a model has, the more processing power it takes to animate it. Which gave me a realization. Behavioral complexity tends to be inversely proportional to the number of limbs a creature has. With a few outliers like cephalopods.
