An animal with two feet is known as a biped. Very few animal species are habitual bipeds whose normal method of locomotion is two-legged. The most common include kangaroo, kangaroo rats, kangaroo mice as well as rock pocket mice. These animals usually hop from one place to another.

Only a very small percentage do. Among the animals, only two types, mammals and birds have members that are bipedal. Among the mammals it is just a few primates (us and the apes) who do. Insects generally have 6 legs, amphibians and reptiles four, and other vertebrates can have eight (arachnids) or more (centipedes and millipedes). Some of the dinosaurs were bipedal, but they are no longer around. They are thought to have evolved into birds.
