animals

limbless animals are those that have lost their limbs either through accidents, birth defects or deliberate actions by the animal itself. There are many different kinds of limbless animals, but all share a common trait- they cannot move their limbs.

The vast majority of limbless animals are species of cephalopods, which include squid, octopuses and cuttlefish. These animals typically have a tenuous network of nerves connecting their mantle (the upper section of their body), brain and arms, allowing them to sense and manipulate their surroundings using their tentacles.
