Frogs move better in water than on land. A few burrowing species have short hind legs and cannot hop but all other frogs have long, powerful hind legs, which they use for jumping. Many frogs can leap 20 times their body length on a level surface.

Land snails move by gliding along on their muscular foot, which is lubricated with mucus and covered with epithelial cilia. This motion is powered by succeeding waves of muscular contractions that move down the ventral of the foot.

Serpentine movement

Adult insects typically move about by walking, flying, or sometimes swimming. As it allows for rapid yet stable movement, many insects adopt a tripedal gait in which they walk with their legs touching the ground in alternating triangles, composed of the front and rear on one side with the middle on the other side.

Most insects have five basic physical characteristics:

• Insects have what we call an exoskeleton or a hard, shell-like covering on the outside of its body.
• Insects have three main body parts: head, thorax, and abdomen.
• Insects have a pair of antennae on top of their heads.
• Insects have three pairs of legs.

There are several main gaits of the dog – walk, amble, pace, trot, canter and gallop.
