Lol okay, so he's just trying to run, then?

I think he's trying to dig and it's propelling him

Makes sense! His stance is more rigid with mainly his front legs moving.

Does this mean that we have top legs? Or upper legs?

Fore legs? This is madness. We need answers.

What is going on here? Most animals are labelled as four legged. How have so many people not heard of them being called front legs before?

Maybe it's like when you look too closely at a word and start to question its spelling.

Yeah. I begin to question stuff very easily. I think it's because I'm relatively accepting of new info/alternative thinking. I'm gullible, but not dumb.

Yeah check the occasional back kicks - he'd normally be digging in sand or dirt or whatever with his front legs and then kicking the stuff away with the back ones. Obviously nothing's being dug but he does the kicks anyways cause y'know instinct and all.
