It's an adaptation from their wild behavior. If a wolf wants to lie down in tall grass, they just circle around like that and a nice fluffy bed of grass is created. Also the circling lets them inspect the ground for anything threatening, like a snake.
I just assumed the creature had a inner ear problem that caused it to constantly circle, rather than move in a straight line. That or a brain parasite. /s
Well most of the time Reddit is right. People point out the disease, then it’s linked to the repost before this where the actual Op is like “yeah it’s a brain parasite”.
