Camels.

"As with giraffes, camels have a natural pacing gait, moving both legs from the same side of the body at the same time."

Submitting brown bears:

Giraffes and a few other animals such as brown bears and camels (see T. E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom) move both legs on one side and then both legs on the other side. In some cases the hind leg starts first so there is a slight lag. This is also called 'Pacing' and it is the first gait observed in young 'colts'.
