QUADRUPEDALITY
Quadrupedalism. Quadrupedalism or pronograde posture is a form of terrestrial locomotion in animals using four limbs or legs. An animal or machine that usually moves in a quadrupedal manner is known as a quadruped, meaning "four feet" (from the Latin quattuor for "four" and pes for "foot").
It has been demonstrated at the DARPA Robotics Challenge. A related concept to quadrupedalism is pronogrady, or having a horizontal posture of the trunk. Although nearly all quadrupedal animals are pronograde, there are also bipedal animals with that posture, including many living birds and extinct dinosaurs.

Quadrupedalism locomotion was observed in both species of monkey. Despite these attempts at succor, this world is inhospitable to the human; in at least one iteration, the celebrity was battered by the ecstatic leaps of the canines until bent over backward in an absurd reversion to quadrupedalism.
