Animals have different body structures, so they move differently. They have different structures because of MANY years of evolution. Animals living in different areas with different landscapes had to get around differently, so they adapted. And they also had to get food from hard-to-reach places, so they adapted. Like a giraffe has a long neck for tree leaves and a wolf has long legs to chase and catch prey. Monkeys have those flexible limbs for climbing and tails for balance while dwelling in the high trees.

The simple answer is: different body structures.

But the have different body structure because they had to adapt.

Living creatures move differently because they have different body structures. They have longer legs, shorter legs, stronger or weaker muscles that allow them to run faster or jump higher or faster or no legs at all so they have to crawl, and they have longer, shorter, stronger, or weaker arms.

All this as a result of adpating and evolving over thousand or millions of years, or maybe they were designed and created that way. Even with the belief of creation, there is evidence that animals did adapt and change, or there are signs that species that were known have disappeared and new ones exist that were not previously known. Animals are believed to have adapted over time to conform to the requirements of their environment, to be able to get food, and to be able to not be food.

This does not mean animals grew flexible limbs for climbing and tails for balance so they could become monkeys dwelling in the high trees. It means that some animals were born and grew up with genetic mutations that allowed them to live in tree and hide from ground based predators. They had a better chance to survive and propogate than earlier versions of the same animal that were stuck on the ground.

What happens when the objects in the way of the waves move?

When objects in the way of waves move, the waves can be blocked or absorbed by the objects. This can cause the waves to change direction, scatter, or reflect off the moving objects. The movement of the objects can also affect the amplitude and wavelength of the waves.

Why do objects move in different place?

There are many things that can make an object move and be placed in different area's. People have many options of moving object's into different places by using vehicles. And machine's. Weather and storm's can also cause objects to move and be misplaced due to water, wind, and fire.
