Crawling,a. Several basic mechanisms—two-anchor crawling, peristalsis, pedal waves, serpentine and amoeboid crawling—are considered in turn in this chapter. Some of these are further discussed in relation to soft-bodied animals by Trueman (1975).

There is information in later chapters about the patterns of repetitive movement involved, for instance, in different gaits, bu
