poor circulation.

the legs have bones in them: the femur, tibia, and fibula. these are bones. the legs are not all bones, though. they have tissue and muscle and fat as well.
The lymphatic system aids in the transport of tissue fluid. When this fluid accumulates it is referred to as edema, and tends to occur in the legs and ankles as a result of gravity.
Muscle tissue covers the entirety of your body, including its covering of the bones near your abdominals, back, chest and shoulders. It initiates movement throughout. Muscle tissue is found in your arms, legs, face, even your penis and your vagina. "Involuntary muscle", such as that which mobilates unconscious activities - those of the lungs, digestive tract and most of the central autonomic organs of the body and the circulatory system, are also included as "muscle tissue".
Tails and legs help support a vertebrates body and allow it to move. Other structures to help a body move are muscle and bones.
Skeletal tissue is one of the three types of muscle tissues. This tissues are striated and are attached to the skeleton. Skeletal or striated muscle is called voluntary because willed or voluntary control of skeletal muscle contractions is possible. When viewed under a microscope, skeletal muscle is characterized by many cross striations and many nuclei per cell. Individual cells are long and threadlike and are often called fibers. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and when contracted produce voluntary and controlled body movements.
Muscle tissue can stretch.
Cardiac muscle tissue forms the bulk of the wall of the heart. Smooth muscle tissue is located in the walls of hollow internal structures such as blood vessels, the stomach, intestines, and urinary bladder. Skeletal muscle tissue is named for its location - attached to bones. Skeletal muscles are found attached to the bones, which enables their movemen.t
There is more muscle in its hind legs than any other part of their body. If you take a look and the femur(upper leg) its fat with muscle tissue. This is to act as a spring to lift it through thevair when hopping.
