Can anyone help me with the English equivalent of "passo ambio", defined as the "almost simultaneous movement of the two limbs on the same side". The context is a description of the gait of a bear: "Un orso si muove con un andamento dondolante e un passo ambio" in an article with a "science for the layman" level. Many thanks in advance.
