Hola! I have one in OSGrid - an animation called "powerwalk" which is certainly a male walk. It's frikkin mean though, it can make my 4'0" pixie boi avatar look like someone you wouldn't want to get in the way of! A little googling turned up somethign better, a couple of source sites, one free, one paid. Maybe you could find more, the file extension is .bvh .
