loomaliikumine
Loomaliikumine refers to the movement of animals. This encompasses a wide range of behaviors and mechanisms that animals use to change their position in space. The primary functions of loomaliikumine include seeking food, finding mates, escaping predators, migrating to more favorable environments, and establishing territories. Different environments and animal adaptations have led to diverse forms of locomotion.
On land, common forms of movement include walking, running, hopping, crawling, and slithering. Tetrapods, such as
In aquatic environments, animals have evolved to swim. Fish use fins and their bodies to propel themselves
Aerial locomotion, or flight, is utilized by birds, bats, and insects. This involves the use of wings
The study of loomaliikumine, often called biomechanics or locomotion studies, examines the physics and biology behind
