All animals that use their limbs for locomotion have knee joints on their hind legs, just the same as humans. Creatures without legs would also have no knees.
Some of these include:
Snakes
Invertebrates
Fish
Marine Mammals
When watching 4 footed animals it often appears that they have no knees, this is because to run fast the knee has migrated up to the top of the leg so appears to be a hip (it remains in the same place on the front limbs

Which way do animal's knees bend?
Most mammals (e.g. horses and dogs) have knees that bend the way human knees do. However, when you look at a mammal's leg, the knee is not in the same place you're used to finding it. Many four-legged animals actually walk on their toes, and have elongated feet and ankle bones. Take a look at a dog or horse skeleton on the internet, and you can see that what seems to be a "backward bending knee" is actually the animal's ankle!

What do you call it when the knee of an animal is backwards?
This concept is referred to as a misconception, because animals do not have backward knees. The part you think is a backward knee is equivalent (homologous) to your ankle. Notice that your ankle bends "backward." Animals have forward bending knees, just like you, but they are often overlooked. Look higher up on the animal and you will see their homologous knee. In some animals, there is a lot of muscle and/or loose skin over the area, so it looks like a rounded hunch near their hips.Stand up. Lean over. Bend your knees a bit. Now stretch your t-shirt down over your knees. This is how you might imagine many animals having 'hidden' knees.
