> DNA is extremely flexible, there's no macroscopic form or shape it can't take, as various insects camouflaging themselves as sticks and leaves and what not shows.

That feels like a really bold claim given the evidence.

Let me know when you spot an animal that drives around on wheels.

Physically you could have wheeled animals, but wheels just won't evolve. They are perfect for somewhat smooth surfaces where you want to travel in a somewhat straight line. Organisms just cannot confine themselves to that and survive.

Unless we find a planet composed entirely of solid smooth rock we won't find wheeled animals.

How would wheels get fed with nutrition? Would they have tiny mouths?

Gears have evolved, though, which is equally cool IMO.

[ncmncm]

Half-gears.

Rotifers do not, in fact, have wheels.
