Its because they're vertebrates - tetrapody (4 feet or legs) is the primitive (this is a technical term meaning close to the ancestral state) feature for all vertebrates though some can vanish with lack of use.





The blue whale has a pelvic girdle for legs which are long since gone. If you look up Basilosaurus (a prehistoric whale ancestor) you will see it had tiny vestigial feets.
