We are the only ones that use this way of walking and for other kinds of bipedal animals, the same thing applies. They need their other limbs for something else. | |

Ideally, the head is lighter than the atmosphere and keeps itself up and the feet each are heavier than anything else combined." You have this the wrong way round. Try balancing a hammer on your hand. If you have the dense metal hammer-head on your fingers, you won't be able to balance the hammer as you walk. If you have the light handle on your fingers and the metal head in the air, with a little practice you'll be able t waltz around. A high CofG is good when your are moving. Think of an ostrich. | |
