from left to right:
- human
- dog
- horse
- flamingo
With a helpful reminder in parenthesis that they mean flamingo the bird, as opposed to the casino, which doesn’t have any feet.
According to their press kit, their casino alone has 93,000 feet. All of them square for some reason.
As opposed to, what, triangular feet? Spiral feet? Perhaps you’d feel better if their feet were hyperboloid? ffs get a grip.
They have even more cubic feet.
you just have to find the right room
Or order from the special room service menu
But why Katakana? Those are some reasonably basic kanji- certainly not beyond bird anyway.
it seems that the scientific nomenclature for families of animals in Japanese uses katakana:
this is confirmed by a few comments on this page: https://ja.hinative.com/questions/14614111
Basically, the kanji “犬” is used. Since “犬” is an elementary Kanji character, the hiragana “いぬ” is not often used.
The katakana “イヌ” is used in more biological contexts than “犬”.
Example:
- “Walking with a dog” 犬
- “Inu is a mammalian animal” イヌ
However, not all Japanese follow this rule. If in doubt, just write the kanji character for “dog” and you will be fine.
If you’re looking for more the source is Satoshi Kawasaki books “Exchanging bodies with animals”. Might have better luck finding a webpage if you can read Japanese. There’s definitely more nightmare fuel out there to find, the search term “Satoshi Kawasaki animals as human” should get you some hits.
It honestly is a really great way to demonstrate the concepts
Virgin human proportions vs Chad bird proportions
Gigachad pecs ngl
Huh that one’s actually really interesting.
As if human legs aren’t the weird ones - they evolved from feet into hands and then into weird hands that we walk around on and call feet.
I’m gonna need more info
Humans evolved from animals that walked on the ground, on the part of the hand/foot we would call fingers/toes. Like most animals btw (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitigrade?wprov=sfti1).
Then the those animals transitioned into arboreal creatures, which evolved hands in order to climb & live in trees. These animals would’ve had hands & feet like monkeys.
Then those arboreal animals transitioned back into walking animals that didn’t climb as much, which turned their feet into something more like chimp/gorilla feet.
Then those animals began walking upright, which changed their feet to lose the ability to grasp since they no longer climbed as much. This is what gave humans the feet we have now.
Alien 1: Wow, humans must go around saying “Kill me…” a lot.
Alien 2: Uh, rude!
Middle-aged human: No, no, that tracks.
Parasyte mentioned🗣️‼️‼️
This was a weird anime for me. I couldn’t eat noodles when watching it
Horse feet are so strange. Actually, horse fingers and toes. Most of what you can the horse “leg” is what would be your finger.
With a big beefy nail that looks like horror when born, and smashes and rubs into place in their first day.
If they don’t give you nightmares, you don’t understand how they work.
Yes! I spent 20
monthsuh, just minutes looking for a variation on this exact image! Thank you!I posted the artist name as a top level comment.
skittering around on your fingertips
what a vile existence, I cannot stop imaging it
Horses know how the world works, that’s why they’re always giving it the middle finger.
Wait, what? Please tell me more about this horror nail, I had no idea
When they’re born, they’re called foal slippers.

But just in general, horse hooves are amazing and so weird. It’s literally if your middle finger was half your leg, and the nail was a huge wraparound thing. Then plus you grew extra keratin on your fingertip like a mega callus from birth. Because why not?
TIL that horses start off as nightmare-shod animals D:
Horse
feet are sostrange.
This is a whole new level of orgasm for people who are into feet.
Yes, I am one of them.
Please do not kink shame us.No kink shame from me. I may not be into that but to each their own
Mr Hands?
The Horse walks on the middle fingers
☹️
I keep repeating this to everyone who’s listening and add that cats have clown feet.
In case anyone is wondering the labels are human, dog, horse, and flamingo.
It’s weird to see “犬” and “馬” written in katakana.
What, you don’t want to be able to dunk without jumping?
What really puzzels me personally are bovine front legs, the joints are kinda all over the place
That picture quickly turned into the alien from the end of The Arrival.
Came to the comments for The Arrival mention, TY.
“I wish to be a werewolf; half man, half wolf!”
The monkey paw curls a finger and the wish is granted as the left half the human is transfigured into the form of a wolf
“Couldn’t you have at least changed both of my legs??”
When a cat loafs, the things that stick up on either side of her back? Those are her knees.
