Thatâs much more significant of a difference for bipedal animals, so mostly just humans. 1 of 2 legs vs. 1 of 4 legs touching the ground. Elephants will never get airborne, but you certainly wouldnât describe a stampeding elephant as âwalkingâ

A herd of elephants race walked past town today. 1 dead, 3 injured.

Only for bipedals. Quadrupedal animals can well keep a leg on the ground at all times even when moving at speed. To borrow from another comment here: Would you call a stampeding elephant âwalkingâ?
I am very certain that most animals can get airborne, even for prolonged periods of time,when reaching high enough speed. The trick lies in accelerating them to sufficient speed. Safe landing and deceleration can also pose a problem.
Non-nonsensical headline and brief summary of hipoos gaits: evidently they have been observed reaching a trot, which does include moments where two feet are coming up, and two down, thus for that brief moment, the hippo is âsuspendedâ or⌠âââairborneâââ.
When I woke up this morning, I didnât anticipate Iâd be spending 15 minutes reading about how horses walk, but it was well worth that time!

Happy to help put a little getty-up in your get-along, haha!
I feel like I am part of a rather rare confluence of relavant demographics here:
Was raised around horses, have dated horse girls, have ridden and cared for horses.
Have been a copy editor for a student newspaper.
Have also done a lot of game modding and aleays been a tech dork, so the kinematics/mechanics of properly animated horses are also interesting that way.

Is it even considered running if that doesnât happen?
Why would it not be?
race walking ?

Fly, my pretties! Fly!

I mean, if youâre just yeeting animals off a cliff, then they can all âflyâ.
The OP said âget airborneâ. Controlled flight was not part of the discussion.
Touche
But can hippos reach escape velocity?
Next time on Smarter Every Day!
They can but not by themselves
Thatâs why I sleep with a hippo net around my bed

Itâs a screenshot of Tumblr tags, very common on tumblr to hide whole essays in tags
Sure, but that doesnât excuse or exclude it from being frustrating, annoying, and just generally unpleasant.
iâve never understood it either, it makes sense to separate out short quips but when itâs a full reply itâs⌠meant to go in the reply fieldâŚ
Yeah they can fly when they poop and propeller-spin their tails.

One thing I learned from Kerbal space program is that anything flies with enough boosters
Fun fact: if a hippo runs fast enough they can travel trough time
