They sure do, its rather weird that the only critters with defined limbs are the insectoids (Wasps, StingBees and ThudSlugs), all the mamal critters have no legs, and in some cases no arms.

Reminds me of the Inside CG about designing the Ratz
:
|
We had to keep in mind that there may be many of these rats in a scene, so we had to make them as digitally light, and as technically easy to animate as possible. Based on these parameters we decided instead of giving it four legs, to just give the rat one all purpose leg. Three less legs to animate, three less sets of bones and geometry, multiplied over one or two hundred rats can make a big logistical difference.
