I always thought it was fairly obvious why there weren't any animals with wheels. That being that there's no way easy way to connect two parts that continually twist with nerves and blood vessels. That and wheels aren't as versitile on rough terrain as legs are. But I am certainly not a biologist.

google Bacterial flagellar Motor to see how nature has evolved a rotating propulsion device.
pretty amazing.
Also this chariot, if it can be used in war what use does it have? ;)
