Feet are wonderful, they help us stand, run, skip and are great for a tickle attack. But not everyone’s feet are the same, check out this top ten list to discover animals with some of the coolest feet!
1) American Coot
They have long toes wrapped in skin that help them to swim while still being able to walk on land.
2) Elephant
Their feet have ‘cushion pads’ which distribute the weight. They also use their feet to communicate, stomping the ground to send out vibrations.
3) Gecko
Their toes are covered in tiny microscopic hairs, which help them to stick to surfaces.
4) Ostrich
They are the only bird with two toes. This design helps them to run fast, reaching up to about 70 km an hour!
5) Lion
Like most members of the cat family, their paws have padding to help them walk quietly they also have retractable claws.
6) Bald eagle
They have powerful talons that they use to hunt prey like fish
7) Rhinoceros
They have surprisingly small feet for their weight, which can reach up to 8,000lbs.
8) Monkey
They have an opposable thumb and sensitive pads that allow them to grab onto things like a branch.
9) Crocodile
They have webbed feet to help them swim. Their toes also have sharp claws!
10) Penguin
They have so much blubber and warm feathers over their entire body that they need to have bare feet to allow heat to escape so they can regulate their body temperature.
Wait. A rhinos foot is 80,000 pounds? WHAT?! It was awesome anyways :).
That would be one GIANT rhino! 😉
Rhinos (not just the foot) can weigh up to 8,000 pounds.
ER_Bubbles you are right! That WOULD be one giant rhino…. It would hurt if he knocked you into the air. Rhinos have needle-sharp horns and because of their poor eyesight, they will charge at almost anything…..
😉
And yes, Rhinos (not just the foot) can weigh up to 8,000 pounds. (Crazy right?)
