        It’s a screenshot of Tumblr tags, very common on tumblr to hide whole essays in tags

              Only for bipedals. Quadrupedal animals can well keep a leg on the ground at all times even when moving at speed. To borrow from another comment here: Would you call a stampeding elephant "walking"?

                  One thing I learned from Kerbal space program is that anything flies with enough boosters

                      Hippos don’t fly – but the massive animals can get airborne

                      Discover the surprising agility of hippos on land. Recent studies reveal that these massive animals can trot and even become airborne, challenging our perceptions of their movement.

                      When I woke up this morning, I didn't anticipate I'd be spending 15 minutes reading about how horses walk, but it was well worth that time!
