Answer:

There are 188 legs in all

Explanation:

Let's solve this problem step by step:

1. First of all, there are 4 unicorns enjoying themselves playing in the forest, they are: Stardust, Umo, Windthorn and Highflyer are enjoying themselves playing in the forest. Each unicorn has 4 legs, so:


4 \ unicorns * 4 \ legs=\boxed{16 \ legs}

2. The unicorns notice 8 spiders in the tree, so each spider has 8 legs. Accordingly:


8 \ spider * 8 \ legs=\boxed{64 \ legs}

3. There are 5 cockroaches, so each cockroach has 6 legs. Accordingly:


5 \ cockroaches * 6 \ legs=\boxed{30 \ legs}

4. There are 7 bees, so each bee has 6 legs. Accordingly:


7 \ bees * 6 \ legs=\boxed{42 \ legs}

5. There are 3 deer, so each deer has 4 legs. Accordingly:


3 \ deers * 4 \ legs=\boxed{12 \ legs}

6. There are 4 cows, so each cow has 4 legs. Accordingly:


4 \ cows * 4 \ legs=\boxed{16 \ legs}

7. They notice a pair of antlers behind a bush, so this means there are 2 more deers, and each having 4 legs. Accordingly:


2\ deers * 4 \ legs=\boxed{8 \ legs}

7. They notice a pair of antlers behind a bush, so this means there are 2 deers, and each having 4 legs. Accordingly:


2\ deers * 4 \ legs=\boxed{8 \ legs}

Adding all the amounts of legs we have:


Total=16+64+30+42+16+12+8=\boxed{188 \ legs}
