WHAT DOES TRIPEDAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tripedal

Tripedalism

Tripedal is the term used for any animal that stands on three legs. The terms bipedal and quadrupedal are used more commonly when referring to animals that either walk on two legs or animals such as dogs and cats who walk on four legs. The terms triped, tripedal and tripedalism are rarely, if ever, used in a real scientific context, as there are no known naturally occurring three-legged animals on Earth, although the movement of some Macropods such as kangaroos, which can alternate between resting their weight on their muscular tails and their two hind legs, may be an example of tripedal locomotion in animals. There are also the tripod fish. This fish rests on the ocean bottom on two rays from its two pelvic fins and one ray from its caudal fin. A three-legged dog in south west England, injured in a road accident. The dog was running around at normal speed.
