Name three advantages of bipedal mode of locomotion.

Answer 1

Animals that walk on two legs straight have a number of advantages over those that do not.

Three advantages of the bipedal mode of locomotion:

1. This helps them to raise their head, giving the animals a wide view to watch over predators.
2. Being upright makes it easy to reach the tops of trees for food (by hand or mouth) and frees the hands to hold and carry tools & objects.
3. Self-defense using the limbs is also possible with bipedalism.
