Fly, my pretties! Fly!

That was in fact what inspired the question
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"

Researcher: "Well, you see, when hippos run very fast, there are moments when their four limbs are in the air, it's as if-"
Journalist: "HIPPOPOTAMOS CAN FLY!!!! THE FUCKING HIPPOS FLY!!!! A HIPPO JUST HIT THE PENTAGON!"
And it is now the penta gone!
Ok I’ll see myself out…

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.

But can hippos reach escape velocity?

A herd of elephants race walked past town today. 1 dead, 3 injured.
It has a weird amount of drama to it

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 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.
