Crawling
A form of locomotion where a Bipedal animal changes location in part by use of the arms or hands on the ground. This covers a baby crawling on all fours, or a soldier dragging his lower body along pulled from the elbows in order to stay low and less visible. It does not however cover a dog walking on its front and rear legs because it's a normally quadripedal animal.

  Translocation Translocation is that class of Motions in which an object moves from one place to another. In the case of round trips, the origin and destination are the same, but the intervening motion passes through other locations. Translocation represents linear motion, in contrast to rotation or other movement in place. A vehicle is not necessary, Ambulating is a kind of Translocation.
