With a helpful reminder in parenthesis that they mean flamingo the bird, as opposed to the casino, which doesn’t have any feet.

As opposed to, what, triangular feet? Spiral feet? Perhaps you’d feel better if their feet were hyperboloid? ffs get a grip.

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.

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.

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.

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.
