To catch cursorial critters, some predators are cursorial themselves. Thus, wolves and African hunting dogs may chase prey over great distances. Cats generally stalk their prey, sneaking to within close range before pouncing. A nimals that hop or bound are described as saltatorial, and they can be suprisingly fast. Red and gray kangaroos can reach speeds of 35 miles per hour.
Jackrabbits are even faster.
Kangaroo rats, jerboas, and the African springhare, or springhaas, also hop on two legs. Some tropical rainforest mammals have a fifth hand, so to speak. They have tails that are prehensile. Apes don't have tails at all, but they have another neat trick. They can swing from branch to brach using only their front legs, or arms.
