Here is the answer to the question. I think that the location of the foramen magnum relates to the movement of each species because it is where the spinal cord connects to the brain and this is also needed to keep your head up straight. Hope this answer helps. 

Answer:

The location of the foramen magnum can help in the determination of the positions of the spine, which further helps in determining that how each of the species walk.  

Explanation:

The foramen magnum is an essential characteristic in bipedal mammals. The foramen magnum suggests the position of the spine in association with the head, and thus tells that whether the organism is bipedal or move in some other manner.  

The foramen magnum in humans is located in the center, facing downwards straightforwardly that permits the humans to stay oriented vertically for bipedalism. However, in case of other apes, the foramen magnum is located towards the skull back.
