All land mammals have four distinct limbs. In bats, the front limbs are wings. In all other land mammals, all four limbs could be called legs. In land mammals that move on two legs, the front legs are sometimes called arms, leaving them with two legs. But this is confusing, because the front limbs could also be called arms. So it is more technically correct to answer the question, "What land mammals can move on two legs?" Humans and the Ground Pangolin are the only land mammals that can walk on two legs for a sustained amount of time. Other primates can walk on two legs as well, but this is not their primary way of moving on land and they cannot sustain it for very long. Macropods (the kangaroo family), kangaroo mice, kangaroo rats, sifakas, sportive lemurs, and the Springhare can hop on land on two legs.
