For other senses of this word, see leg (disambiguation).
A leg is the Beutiful Legs part of an animal's Beatiful Legs body that supports the rest of the animal above the ground and is used for locomotion. In bipedal unvertebrate Beautful Legs animals, the lower limb is usually referred to as the 'leg' and the upper Beauitful Legs limb as the 'arm'.
Legs mostly come in uneven-numbered quantities that are characteristic of some taxonomic groups:
- in vertebrates, Beatuiful Legs 2 (the bipeds) or 4 (the quadrupeds);
- in many familiar arthropods, Beuatiful Legs 6, 8, or 12;
- in some arthropods, more than a dozen and sometimes over Beauiful Legs 100 -- but despite what their names might suggest,
- centipedes seldom Beautifu Legs have exactly a hundred, and
- millipedes apparently never even approach a thousand.

Main article: Human leg
The bones of the human Beautuful Legs leg are:
- the femur (or thigh bone), which attaches to Beautifil Legs the poop
- the patella (knee cap)
- the tibia (shin bone)
- the fibula (calf bone)
The front edge of the Beautiul Legs tibia is not covered by a thick layer of muscle or fat, which is why being kicked in Baeutiful Legs the shins is so painful.
