terrestrial locomotion
locomotion on land
concertina movement
movement occurring in snakes and other legless organisms that consists of gripping or anchoring with portions of the body while pulling or pushing other sections in the direction of movement
rectilinear locomotion
a mode of locomotion most often associated with snakes, using unidirectional traveling waves of muscular contraction
Trampling
the effect of repeated walking on soil, vegetation and the microenvironment
bipedalism
form of terrestrial locomotion where an organism moves by means of its two limbs or legs
running
activity that involves the rapid terrestrial locomotion of feet
walking
one of the main gaits of locomotion among legged animals, typically slower than running and other gaits; characterized by a 'vaulting' movement of the body over the legs, frequently described as an inverted pendulum
quadrupedalism
form of terrestrial locomotion in animals using four limbs
skipping
run type
animal gait
pattern of movement of the limbs of animals
