There is facultative bipedalism and obligate (kangaroos, hopping mice - like those cute jerboas, some apes-gibbons..)

ALL birds.
Btw. this behaviour that is unsual and not in line with the past evolution for mammals is what causes man a buquet of back problems.

Other than humans is there any mammal that walk on two legs? I can't think of any. Some people will say Chimpanzees, gorillas etc are bipedal but when you look at their movement for an extended period it's obvious they are not truly bipedal. When they stand on two legs, their movement is awkward and they are more comfortable when their fists are on the ground or when they are on trees.
Another odd thing about humans: We are one of the few land mammals that lack fur. I know rhinoceros and elephants lack fur too, but I can't think of more. Land mammals' bodies are covered by fur 99% of the time (and walk on 4 legs)
There's this theory called "aquatic ape theory" or "aquatic ape hypothesis" (you can find more info in google). According to the theory, we are partially water adapted. I read about it briefly, the promoters of this theory say biology of humans are weird in some ways compared to other land mammals.

Besides some running mice and kangaroos I'm not aware of any mammals that walk on two legs as a standard movement.
The human non-fur skin is indeed an oddity. I've not yet thought of that and I don't feel to have any thoughts worth telling. A "water ape" background is an interesting theory.
