The way animals move.

Another classification of animals could be by the way they move. Animals can:

  • Walk: 
    • Almost all mammals move walking. We have to except some aquatic mammals, like dolphins, sharks or whales; and the bat, maybe the only mammal who can fly.
    • Some amphibians
    • Some birds.

  • Fly:
    • Almost all birds move flying. Some birds, as for instance the penguin cannot fly. We have mentioned before the bat (a mammal).

  • Swim:
    • All fishes move swimming.
    • Some aquatic mammals move swimming.
    • Some anphibians can swim. 

  • Crawl along the ground:
    • Some anphibians move crawling along the ground. They do not have legs
