Which of the following is the swiftest form of the locomotion?
Correct answer: C. Unguligrade
- A. Plantigrade
- B. Digitigrade
- C. Unguligrade
- D. Hopping
Explanation
Unguligrade animals walk on the tips of their digits, often enclosed in hooves, which lengthens the effective limb and permits the greatest running speed. Students may choose b because digitigrade animals such as dogs and cats are also fast, but unguligrade locomotion is generally considered the swiftest of these foot postures.
