Vampire bat
The words "vampire bat" and "galloping gait" are a bit unnerving when put together in the same sentence (via Chapel Perilous). Don't miss the video!
Species evolved its galloping gait independently of other mammals.
Vampire bats' thirst for blood has driven them to evolve an unexpected sprinting ability. Most bats are awkward on the ground, but the common vampire bat can bound along at more than 1 metre per second.
