## Abstract Field observations of bipedal posture and locomotion in wild chimpanzees (__Pan troglodytes__) can serve as key evidence for reconstructing the likely origins of bipedalism in the last prehominid human ancestor.

This is a brief report on the postnatal development of locomotor behavior in the jerboa, a bipedal kangaroo-like rodent. Observations on one litter revealed three intriguing aspects of the postnatal development of the jerboa compared to other rodent species: (a) The weaning period is extended, (b) t
