Rotating locomotion in living systems

Rotational self-propulsion of organisms

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_locomotion_in_living_systems

Several organisms are capable of rolling locomotion.

Biologists have offered several explanations for the apparent absence of biological wheels, and wheeled creatures have appeared often in speculative fiction.
