Episode notes
Kangaroo Legs
- Kangaroos have three or five legs, depending on how you count.
- Their tail functions as a leg, providing weight-bearing support and propulsion.
Odd-Legged Animals
- Many animals have unusual numbers of limbs, like crabs with nine legs or seven-arm octopuses (which actually have eight).
- Starfish and sea cucumbers have multiples of five limbs, and tripod fish walk on three fin protrusions.
Joey Development
- Newborn kangaroos (joeys) initially only have front legs.
- They use these tiny limbs to crawl into their mother's pouch, developing back legs later.
