    Is this also called jumping?

    Many mammals and other animals are capable of this.

    Edit: in fact I’m having a difficult time thinking of animals that can’t do this. Maybe turtles and worms? Shellfish, cephalopods?

        I kind of thought elephants might be able to do little jumps. Maybe not though.

          Nope! They never needed to so they didn’t evolve the ability. Also, they have so much mass that accelerating that mass quick enough to jump would probably injure them, the landing as well. Newton’s a bitch

    Just another reason to make them even more scary.
