  2. Common house gecko - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_house_gecko

    The common house gecko is a tropical species, and thrives in warm, humid areas where it can crawl around on rotting wood in search of the insects it eats, as well as within urban landscapes in warm climates. The animal is very adaptable and may prey on insects and spiders, displacing other gecko species which are less robust or behaviourally ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_locomotion

    Animals show a vast range of gaits, the order that they place and lift their appendages in locomotion. Gaits can be grouped into categories according to their patterns of support sequence. For quadrupeds, there are three main categories: walking gaits, running gaits, and leaping gaits.

  4. Burrow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrow

    Additionally, burrows can protect animals that have just had their young, providing good conditions and safety for vulnerable newborn animals. [19] Burrows may also provide shelter to animals residing in areas frequently destroyed by fire, as animals deep underground in a burrow may be kept dry, safe and at a stable temperature.

  5. Amphibious fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibious_fish

    Swamp eels, which are not true eels, can absorb oxygen through their highly vascularized mouths and pharynges, and in some cases (e.g., Monopterus rongsaw) through their skin. Snakehead fish : This family of fish consists of obligate air breathers, using their suprabranchial organs, which are a primitive labyrinth organ.

    A wheeled buffalo figurine—probably a children's toy—from Magna Graecia in archaic Greece [1]. Several organisms are capable of rolling locomotion. However, true wheels and propellers—despite their utility in human vehicles—do not play a significant role in the movement of living things (with the exception of the corkscrew-like flagella of many prokaryotes).

  7. Flying and gliding animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_and_gliding_animals

    Animal aerial locomotion can be divided into two categories: powered and unpowered. In unpowered modes of locomotion, the animal uses aerodynamic forces exerted on the body due to wind or falling through the air. In powered flight, the animal uses muscular power to generate aerodynamic forces to climb or to maintain steady, level flight.

    Horse galloping The Horse in Motion, 24-camera rig with tripwires GIF animation of Plate 626 Gallop; thoroughbred bay mare Annie G. [1]. 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).

  9. Undulatory locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undulatory_locomotion

    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 ...
