What is another word for bipedal?
Pronunciation: [ba͡ɪpˈiːdə͡l] (IPA) 
Bipedal refers to organisms that move on two legs, making it a term often associated with human beings. However, there are other words we can use to describe this type of locomotion. One of these words is ambulatory, which means to move about on two legs. Another synonym for bipedal is digitigrade, which specifically refers to animal species that walk on their toes, like cats and dogs. The term plantigrade describes organisms that walk on their entire foot, like bears and humans. Lastly, we have semi-erect, which is used to describe animals that walk on two legs but not as efficiently as fully-bipedal animals.
