An elephant's legs are great straight pillars, as they must be to support its bulk. The elephant needs less muscular power to stand because of its straight legs. For this reason an elephant can stand for very long periods of time without tiring. In fact, African elephants rarely lie down unless they are sick or wounded. However, Indian elephants lie down frequently. Elephants are the only mammals to have four knees, most others either have two knees and two elbows, though the knees are often found in the front legs, or they have four elbows, like cats or dogs.
Happy Holidays!

I'm not sure but the elephant is the only animal that has 4 forward bending legs so maybe they are counted as knees.

Many reptiles have four knees but elephants are the only mammal to have this feature.

Knee as in Patela bone, none. The joint on the front leg we associate with the knee is made of carpal (wrist) bones. The knee is high near the body and the hock compares to ankle (tarsal) bones
