Three’s a crowd

None of the countless species of animal in existence has three legs. Creatures such as the kangaroo and the meerkat use their tails for balance, but a tail is plainly not the same as a leg. This pattern does not apply only to mammals – other kinds of animal have an even number of legs, too. Why wouldn’t having three legs work?
