Which animal can't walk backwards?

[Dave5N]

My 8-years old son nees to know for a competition he wants to enter.

I said Kangaroo on no greater basis than guessing.
I think that tail and the shape of their hind legs could make reversing awkward at least.

 

[ColinJ]

Snake ?

 

[Dave5N]

Snake ?

That's not an option.

Or did you mean me?

 

[Abitrary]

It's got to be an elephant, because they don't actually have legs, only knees

 

[Hover Fly]

Elephants definitely can walk backwards. My brother kept elephants and got them to walk backwards quite easily.

Bonj will know...

I would also say Kangaroo. On a lighter note I could say my wife in an argument!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops - I didn't notice that it was a poll B). I'm sure that you are not a snake, but I thought it might be a trick question. If an animal can't walk forwards, because it doesn't have legs, then it certainly can't walk backwards!

I went for Kangaroo,because the others have four legs,and i think thay would have no problems.

*Dave5N kicks himself hard*

Stupid me! Why didn't I think of that first?

I could have PMed him and saved you all a lot of bother.

Sorry.

I said kangaroo, because there tail would be the wrong size for balance. And they dont walk do they, i thought they jumped/bounced everywhere.

 

[Speicher]

I do not think it is a kangeroo. They "box" each other, and if you are boxing and cannot reverse, you are in big trouble.

I think it is the brown bear that cannot walk backwards. (Due to its weight, low centre of gravity etc, but I cannot explain it scientificologically.)

Elephants should be able to go backwards, otherwise if they take a drink from a river or lake, how would they move, if not backwards.

Polecats, I think, are very agile. So walking backwards is a piece of cake (as it were) for them. Perhaps it is a trick question. None of them walk, do they preambulate?
