Gang (diere)

From Wikipedia (Af) - Reading time: 2 min

'n Olifant wat loop.

Gang is die patroon van beweging van die ledemate van diere, insluitend mense, tydens beweging oor 'n soliede oppervlak. Die meeste diere gebruik 'n verskeidenheid van gange, en kies hul gang gebaseer op spoed, terrein, die behoefte om te maneuver, en energieke doeltreffendheid. Verskillende dierspesies kan verskillende gange gebruik as gevolg van verskille in anatomie wat die gebruik van sekere gange verhinder, of bloot as gevolg van geëvolueerde ingebore voorkeure as gevolg van habitatverskille.
