Ah yes, bipeds, a species named after its well known tendency to walk on four limbs

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 18 points 4 months ago

To be fair the one that was spotted when they got their name was standing on two legs at the time and the scientist couldn't be bothered to keep watching

Gorilla are bipedal but use 4 as well. Bipedal just means primary mode not sole mode.
