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
