A '''foot''' is an [[organ]] that is used for locomotion and takes a variety of forms depending on the [[animal]].<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Biology''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1998</ref>  Animal feet are comprised of five [[finger]]s or two parts called [[hooves]].

The foot has essentially the same anatomical structure and the same bones in different [[mammal]]s, but is positioned and used for locomotion in different ways.

Animals with the ''[[unguligrade]]'' stance, including [[horse]]s, [[cattle]], and [[deer]], walk only on the ''tips'' of the digits. In the horse, the anatomical structure corresponding to the foot are very elongated. In a famous mistake, the [[lexicography|lexicographer [[Samuel Johnson]] defined the word ''[[pastern]]'' as "the [[knee]] of the horse." The pastern does look like a knee and it in roughly the location where you might expect a knee, but it faces backwards. Animals with the unguligrade stance are fast runners, depending on speed to escape [[predator]]s, and their legs are long and relatively fragile.
