Is it biologically possible for animals to have wheels

Quoted By:

Yes, some insects have the capacity, but it's less functional.
The closet thing is a desert spider that momentarily turns its body into a wheel and lets gravity move it rather than it's own energy.

You need some sort of roller bearing. There is one insect that actually has geared joints in its hips.

Rollers and wheels are biologically impractical. Bloodflow is an issue.

Yeah, but the wheels would have to be made of something like chitin or keratin. The vasculature required to have a wheel made of living tissue precludes it

I just asked a question. If you don't have an answer, that's fine.

Maybe they're not connected. The signal is inducted on the other side; the animal would have a bone with a spiral where copper is deposited and it becomes a sort of wire. It's an animal with a transformer inside.
