As a unicyclist, all the sideways-riding caught my eye for being especially silly.

However, I'm very surprised that most of the models make the same sideways mistake with only some of the animals, and they do it consistently.

With most of the models, cat, raccoons, and otters are almost always riding sideways. Why is that?

Pose bias? Most pictures of animals like penguins are face on (I think they're mainly at 45°, and birds are general profile; so perhaps it's a more generalised bias)? Or perhaps the 'recognisable' is correlated with face-on?
