That's much more significant of a difference for bipedal animals, so mostly just humans. 1 of 2 legs vs. 1 of 4 legs touching the ground. Elephants will never get airborne, but you certainly wouldn't describe a stampeding elephant as "walking"
A herd of elephants race walked past town today. 1 dead, 3 injured.
It has a weird amount of drama to it

That’s why I sleep with a hippo net around my bed

Ok Georgie boy, you've trained for this. Sit and wait for your handler. Just sit and wait for your handler.

But can hippos reach escape velocity?

The 4 Basic Horse Gaits Explained [Diagrams & Animations]
The 4 basic horse gaits are the walk, the trot, the canter, and the gallop. Read on to learn all you need to know about the basic gaits.
Horses and Us (www.horsesandus.com)
Neat breakdown of walk vs trot vs canter vs gallop, for horses.
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. Learn how researchers captured this phenomenon and what it means for our understanding of giant land animals.
Down To Earth (www.downtoearth.org.in)
Non-nonsensical headline and brief summary of hipoos gaits: evidently they have been observed reaching a trot, which does include moments where two feet are coming up, and two down, thus for that brief moment, the hippo is 'suspended' or... """airborne""".

I am very certain that most animals can get airborne, even for prolonged periods of time,when reaching high enough speed. The trick lies in accelerating them to sufficient speed. Safe landing and deceleration can also pose a problem.
I mean, if you're just yeeting animals off a cliff, then they can all "fly".

The OP said "get airborne". Controlled flight was not part of the discussion.

They can but not by themselves

Yeah they can fly when they poop and propeller-spin their tails.

Sure, but that doesn't excuse or exclude it from being frustrating, annoying, and just generally unpleasant.

Ahctually it's not running unless all feet are off the ground at some point.
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

Fun fact: if a hippo runs fast enough they can travel trough time

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!
