Apart from the genus homo (humans) the types of primate locomotion are quadrupedalism (moving on all fours/with all four limbs), brachiation (swinging, branch running), and vertical clinging and leaping. "Arboreal quadrupedalism" is the most common type of locomotion among the primate order, meaning the use of grasping hands and feet with a long tail for balance. Although other primate walk on two limbs at times, humans are the only primates that actively engage in bipedalism (standing), the form of locomotion in which two limbs are used for moving.

Is a golden retriever a vertebrate or a invertebrate?
Animals with an internal skeleton made of bone are called vertebrates. Vertebrates include: primates, such as humans and monkeys; amphibians; reptiles; birds; and, fish. Although vertebrates represent only a very small percentage of all animals, their size and mobility often allow them to dominate their environment. SO YES, A GOLDEN RETRIEVER IS A VERTEBRATE.
