why no rolling animals? seems like an efficient mode of locomotion, think snake like flexibility but ball shaped

Rolling around will make it very difficult for an animal to actually see where it is going, limiting its usefulness. The only real rolling seem in nature is quick getaways down open hills.

This is one of the big dunes on the Oregon coast. I don't recall the name but it's a popular enough destination.
