Dinosaurs as a group were bipedal but some types took to walking on all fours due to large size or heavy plates/horns etc.

in 2010 tracks were found in Denver of a running baby Bronotsaurus which showed only hind prints, but return to fore and hind prints when it walked.

an early Ceratopian relative of the Triceratops were also bipedal.


Bonus: their is still debate as to whether Bronotsaurus actually existed
