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

Elephants have no knees, as they have a unique stifle joint in their hind legs which is often mistaken for a knee. This joint allows for strong support and helps with their weight-bearing capabilities.
