If i had three legs would i be able to run faster?

Answer 1

Your speed doesn't depend on the number of legs u have,it depends on the speed of motion of ur legs & ur physical health

example:
The Cheetah is the fastest animal on the earth (it has 4 legs) &
the Turtle is the slowest animal (it has 4 legs too)

Answer 2

I say the same thing because 2 legs would stick out a big and you would be wobbleing all over the place, if u had 4 leggs like a dog then maybe u can move faster.

Answer 3

yes you would. Four legged animals run faster than two legged. But your whole body plan would have to be radically different to get that advantage. If you're planning on staying as a human (or indeed as a vertebrate) you won't find the third leg useful.

Answer 4

A Welsh farmer once bred a three legged chicken, because his wife and son also liked a drumstick on a Sunday.

They never caught one though, so I guess the answer is yes.

Answer 5

No animals has evolved three legs because three legs are energy inefficient and therefore evolutionary unfit. I think that even odd number of legs are unfit.

Answer 6

a man can out run a horse over a short distance because he has less legs to sort out.

so faster over a long distance. slower over a short.

Answer 7

Um, I don't think so. Unless you found a way for them to work in tandem that is more effective than 2 legs... hehe a tripod :P

Answer 8

Are you sure that one in the middle is a third leg?

Answer 9

If u had strongerlegs you would b able to run faster:P

Answer 10

No, your third leg would just get in the way.
