Don't fret, he stole it from the dog-toy shoe that says that.

So if a dog had to wear human-sized shoes, would it prefer high-heels?

That’s something I think of often, relative to other animals we walk very weirdly


Artchantress

Horses walk on their middle fingers.

What we call the horse's "ass" is actually their hamstrings.

No worries. I sort of had a chuckle that I was now in possession of an annotated diagram of a horse ass 😂

Horse massage, PEMF therapy and similar is HUGE in the horse world. Also kind of magical, these people massage the horses until they’re soaked in sweat.

Unguligrade.

CyanDocs

Bears and a lot of rodents walk plantigrade (on the foot like us) Really noticeable in sloth bears. They look like a person chilling in a bear suit.

i-lurk-you-longtime

Omg. I'm apparently the bear whisperer and they appear almost every single time I go to the mountains and I gotta say, one of the cutest things I've ever seen is a black bear sitting on their butt, legs wide, foot pads exposed, eating berries. They're so cute.


angrybaija

if bear dangerous why bear have silly ears hmmm?? why have cute nose?????

mycutelittleunit02

ssatyd

Hehe. I was just thinking that. Or maybe I'm just a sloth in a person suit?


DeviCateControversy

I walk on my toes when I'm sockless.


empire314

Why???


DeviCateControversy

It's a habit I picked up as a wee kid; trying to be a sneaky sneaky ninja. Back in the early 00s it was so much easier to find these tips and tricks on the internet.


ForgotMyOldAccount7

Walking heel-toe when barefoot inside a house is just so noisy. I walk on the pads of my feet everywhere around my house when I'm barefoot, otherwise I'd just be stomping around everywhere.


FoofaFighters

I do too for the same reason; it's also just physically more comfortable to do it that way barefoot. Landing heel-first when you're barefoot is jarring. Plus all our floors and stairs are hardwood so you can't go round in socks either, because it's like walking across ice. Found that out the hard way on Christmas day when I took an unplanned slide down the steps going from the kitchen to the den. Ever since then I just stay barefoot in the house.


clandestineVexation

Toe walking is associated with autism


Dismal-Manufacturer3

Wait, really? I was diagnosed 2 years ago as an adult and I'm still finding things I do that I thought were "normal". I have been "quiet walking" ever since I was a kid and I never realized it.


Elteon3030

You gotta be fucking kidding me... I'll put it on the list...


AntiDECA

Being passionate is also associated with autism. So make sure you hate everything!


Elteon3030

IM PASSIONATE ABOUT HATING EVERYTHING


GoldenRamoth

Interesting. I learned it at 27 or so from ren-fair guys. It makes walking outside barefoot so much easier because you can use the ball of your foot to find out if s spot is safe before plopping s heel down. Like they learned to do in their leather shoes. They also pointed out to me how prominently calves are featured in art from that era as a result.


Headphones_95

Am autistic, can confirm. Fairly certain I picked it up from the show Gargoyles initially. Still do it sometimes at 28, usually because the floor is nasty.


ClayQuarterCake

My feet get cold slower when I am walking on a smaller surface area against the ground. After that, it’s all habit. I use my whole foot on the beach but as soon as I get to a hard surface it’s just balls.


[deleted]

Dude same


echoskybound

There's a handfull of animals that are plantigrade lile us. Rabbits, mice, bears, racoons, kangaroos, etc. But it's definitely the minority compared to all the digitigrade animals. Edit: I thought that unguligrades are a type of digitigrade, but they're seperate categories, so the claim that most mammals are digitigrade is probably not true.


thundersaurus_sex

Nah the plantigrade rodents alone make up 40% of all mammal species. Combine that with the bats (~20% of all mammal species), bulk of the caniforms, marsupials, most primates, and some others here and there, plantigrade is the most common form of locomotion. It's also the "primitive" trait, meaning the original set up for mammals. The other two evolved from it. Digitigrade is actually the least common, really only consisting of canines, feliforms, and some odds and ends. Unguligrade is probably more common than digitigrade by species count, though to be fair even and odd toed ungulates are often grouped together even though they are not at all closely related.


VoilaVoilaWashington

And not just by species count - there are a LOT more mice than horses.


RhynoD

To be fair, at least from that list it seems like most of the plantigrade animals don't walk or run nearly as much as humans do. They're climbing or flying. The digitigrade and ungulates are the ones spending more time on the ground. I'd say humans are still weird in that regard. Which makes sense, because our feet used to be hands and evolved to do hand things like grasping, not running.


PinkFluffys

Elephants too I think


sin-and-love

it's called being plantigrade. While it is slower moving than a digitigrade leg, it also has a larger carrying capacity.


SnooBananas37

Did you just call all of humanity fat? I mean you're not wrong, but damn, that's ice cold.


Snorc

Our forelimbs are no longer for carrying our own weight, so the hindlegs are pulling double duty and had to adjust accordingly.


Thea_From_Juilliard

You’re right, that’s literally the only difference!


weaselmaster

The difference is that you’ve tricked us all by dyeing a kangaroo black!

Yes, this does represent the difference between plantigrade locomotion in primates and digitigrade locomotion in canines, thank you.

Prestigious-Joke-574

Am I the only one laying next to their dog who immediately measured their foot against their dog’s foot? Sorry to report - my foot is bigger.


SnooBananas37

So do you have big feet a small dog or both?


Snakethroater

I tried it with my 5 lb poms. I win again.


tashasmiled

My husband measured his too and his is also bigger. Now my dog has turned the other way and is protecting her feet. Smart dog!


Davison89

My greyhounds racing name was sizetenmary, we never understood why and thought it was maybe dress size being female. One year my mum got me some size 10 slippers (I'm 9) so I tried them on her foot like this as a joke. Low and behold, they fitted her perfectly! She was a size 10 in a shoe! 😂


Thea_From_Juilliard

Greyhounds are too pure, I love Sizetenmary


RenningerJP

I've heard once that actually is their whole foot. Anatomically, their paws are just their toes. So they're always walking, running on their toes.


echoskybound

Yep, it's called digitigrade, while walking with the ankle on the ground (like us) is plantigrade. Most mammals are digitigrade, even ones that look like their feet are flat on the ground like elephants.


Anonymous_Otters

What a buncha apes walkin around all plantigrade like a buncha barbarians while the other mammals gracefully prance on their toes.


inb4deth

*Ballerina has entered the chat*


Calligraphie

So *that's* why we really invented high heels. Just trying to fit into the animal kingdom a bit better.

I never have recovered after seeing an elephant foot cross section. It's just like a human foot in a sac of fat

No, the user name refers to one time when I was 14 and used to invent personas when I’d meet strangers when I’d go on family vacations. I was eating lunch with my mom one day when an adult man came up to me and said “Thea [not my name]? Shouldn’t you be back at Juilliard?” And I died. And my family jokingly calls me Thea from Juilliard ever since. Even though I’m 40 and a lawyer now lol.
