Quadrupedal
Definition:
(a.) Having four feet; of or pertaining to a quadruped.
Example Sentences:
(1) Both the segmental distribution of hindlimb dorsal root fibers and their pattern of termination in Clark's nucleus in the tree shrew were similar to that reported in quadrupedal primates and other quadrupedal mammalian forms.

(3) Specifically, for the same direction of platform movement, during bipedal stance muscles on one side of the lower limb were activated in a distal to proximal sequence; during quadrupedal stance, muscles on the opposite side of the lower limb were activated and in a proximal to distal sequence.
(4) Human children, at the transitional stage between quadrupedalism and bipedalism, have high and almost equal requirements for all postures and locomotions.
(5) The vastus lateralis muscle is of primary importance in leaping inasmuch as it initiates the jumps; on the contrary the activity of the vastus intermedius does not increase during jumping, but it is the only one to be active in quadrupedal resting postures.
(6) Interlimb co-ordination typical of swimming (or trotting) in adult quadrupedal vertebrates was already present on postnatal day 1, and so apparently the neural pattern generating circuitry for this behaviour is already established by this stage.
