Racetracks are also used in the study of animal locomotion.

Walking is the main form of animal locomotion on land, distinguished from running and crawling.

Gray was also known for his work in animal locomotion and the development of experimental zoology.

A variety of methods and equipment are used to study animal locomotion:

Pettigrew was an internationally acknowledged authority on animal locomotion.

The study of animal locomotion is typically considered to be a sub-field of biomechanics.

Such research has been done in pursuit of a better understanding of animal locomotion, including the factors that different gaits seek to optimize.

Thus, in this article different modes of animal locomotion and few examples of the corresponding bio-inspired robots are introduced.

Many of the most impressive forms of animal locomotion have evolved as extensions of fleeing actions.

Sonomicrometry is currently the most prevalent method for determining muscle length changes during animal locomotion, feeding, and other biomechanical functions.
