Most of their leg is a finger look closely. Count the joints. The hand begins 3 joints up (one is hidden in the hoof so it’s not as obvious. Count down from the shoulder works too.) The wrist is 4 joints up, elbow 5, shoulder is the last one at 6 total. They have the same number of joints in the same spots that we do, just like a giraffe has the same number of neck bones as a rat.
Wait, their “knee” is actually just as messed up as our wrists, with the little bones and everything ? I thought evolution would at least have fused them back into fewer moving parts.

At least 80% of the leg, by length, is arm/leg, not finger/toe.
Compare that to a bat wing, where the bones really are long fingers:
The lower leg is the palm, not a finger.

… And people say human knees are badly designed
