Wallabies and Kangaroos share numerous physical similarities, notably strong back legs for hopping. Smaller than Kangaroos, but they jump fast.

Chimpanzees are smart and closely related to humans, so it's no surprise they can walk erect on two legs. Chimps use their back legs and arms to move quickly.

Penguins are flightless birds but can swim like fish, or better. They spend most of their lives in the water and only 25% on land, but they walk or stand on 2 legs then.

Kangaroo Rats are odd rats. They hop almost entirely on their large rear legs, not their front. Like camels, they can endure desert temperatures and go without water.

Because they hop on two legs, these marsupials are bipedal. Strong hind legs help kangaroos to hop fast and far. Kangaroos sometimes use their arms to crawl or walk.
