Crawling or quadrupedal movement is a method of human locomotion that makes use of all four limbs. It is one of the earliest gaits learned by human infants, [ 1 ] and has similar features to four-limbed movement in other primates and in non-primate quadrupeds .
Limbless locomotion, the movement of limbless animals over the ground Undulatory locomotion , a type of motion characterized by wave-like movement patterns that act to propel an animal forward Gaming
Undulatory locomotion is the type of motion characterized by wave-like movement patterns that act to propel an animal forward. Examples of this type of gait include crawling in snakes, or swimming in the lamprey. Although this is typically the type of gait utilized by limbless animals, some creatures with limbs, such as the salamander, forgo ...
Legged locomotion is the dominant form of terrestrial locomotion, the movement on land.The motion of limbs is quantified by the kinematics of the limb itself (intralimb kinematics) and the coordination between limbs (interlimb kinematics).
A carrion crow scavenging on a beach in Dorset, England. A crow (pronounced / ˈ k r oʊ /) is a bird of the genus Corvus, or more broadly, a synonym for all of Corvus.The word "crow" is used as part of the common name of many species.
The arm movements of the front crawl provide most of the forward motion. Various studies have shown that very small changes in the arm stroke can impact propulsive efficiency. For example, position of fingers: "Most studies concluded that a small finger spread leads to increased propulsive forces.

Animal Locomotion: An Electro-photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movements is a series of scientific photographs by Eadweard Muybridge made in 1884 and 1885 at the University of Pennsylvania, to study motion in animals (including humans).
Animal migration is the relatively long-distance movement of individual animals, usually on a seasonal basis. It is the most common form of migration in ecology. It is found in all major animal groups, including birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and crustaceans. The cause of migration may be local climate, local availability ...
