An organism that is able to walk upright on two feet is referred to as "bipedal". Humans are obviously bipedal, but quite a few animals are also capable of bipedal locomotion although not all of them can walk (move bipedally by an alternating gait).
Macropods (kangaroos, wallabies, etc.) are bipedal but hop rather than walk. Kangaroo rats, springhares and certain primates such as the sifaka and sportive lemur also move via bipedal hopping rather than walking. Many primates such as gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, gibbons, bonobos, and baboons do some walking, but also do a lot of their moving on all four limbs (quadrupedally).
Birds are bipedal, but many can only hop. Many dinosaurs were bipedal, and we assume they walked rather than hopped. Fossilized tracks support this hypothesis.
A few lizards are known to be able to scamper on two legs such as the basilisk, the zebra-tailed lizard, and the spiny-footed lizard. In all fairness, the lizards "cheat" a bit by using their tails to help stabilize their movements so they are sort of "tri-pedal" if you count their tails.
