they absorbe nutriance not the food itself that brings up an interesting point do andalites have  digestive and urinary systems?

I think they have three hearts, instead of two. They absorb nutrients, but not the grass itself? That's interesting.

They must have some kind of bone structure that connects the upper half to the lower half.

Also, they have nine fingers. I think it's nine. It's a few more than five, definitely.

Male and female tail blades are different. Might as well throw that out there as well.

Okay, seven.

Has enyone ever noticed any fingernails? I notice on the cover of AC, Elfangor's left hand is closed. So it doesn't show his fingernails. I don't know if anything shows on Ax's books. I'll check.

I don't think they ever mention fingernails in the book actually. but I guess they're like human fingernails.

in book 8, his hands are partly open. book 18, they're open. the fingernails aren't anything special. they look like human fingernails

Okay. I figured they'd probably be like our nails, and not like claws or anything.

The eye stalks have been mentioned. I supposed eye stalks makes it so their main eyes don't have to be farther apart. I think herbivore eyes tend to be farther apart so they have almost 360 degree vision. Andalite main eyes are close together like ours.

It would be weird if they could breathe through their hooves. I think it's just their noses.

lets stay mature and all people, but I gotta know:
Ax and Elfangor got males have an upper body similair to a human male, do female Andalites have one like that to???
and how do they reproduce?
Something, something, oh crap I pissed everyone off again....

I'm not sure about reproduction, but it might be like doggy style. A male Andalite gets up on a female's lower half and goes at it. Eventually she will give birth to a baby that probably goes to eating grass and not milk. Unless the Andalite mother secretes it on the ground, and the baby takes in milk like that. That's assuming females have tits on their lower halves.
