What has no legs but can still chase you? This riddle uses the word “chase” figuratively, so the answer is not an animal or person running behind you.
Answer: Your shadow.
A shadow has no body and no legs, yet when the light is in the right position it follows your movements everywhere, appearing to chase you as you walk or run.
Of course, you can never really outrun it under the same lighting conditions. That simple visual idea is what gives this familiar riddle its playful twist.
