How is this animation relevant to the article? Do any lissamphibians walk like that?

In most of the animation, all four limbs are in motion simultaneously, which means they are all off the ground at the same time. If it is on land, the animal is galloping or hopping. Did it really have the strength and stamina to repeatedly lift its entire body off the ground?

If it is walking (or wading) in the water, the buoyancy of the water would support the animal while it moved its legs, but it risks being swept along by water currents.
