I don't know the answer to that, but this 'shape' in the video seems to have little control of itself!
I would say that it's because they are constantly under threat - in nature, if you aren't eating something, it's a safe bet it's going to be trying to eat YOU! Same reason squirrels always zig-zag, and always keep a tree handy and nearby.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
