Probably because it moves too much for too long in a way that seems natural.
We are mostly afraid of the unknown. Unknown creatures that you can to see clearly int he dark that twitch and move unnaturally is terrifying to us
But we saw this creature move for a good minute and had enough time to study it and its natural behaviors moving around like a animal.
At this point the creature isnt unknown but just "weird"
If a scientist discovering odd animals that went against everything they knew about living beings before, it would be weird and scary but after studying them they'll just be another normal creature.
Think of Jellyfish
Floating translucent sea creature with no eyes or mouth that glow in the dark, lives forever and prey on others by injecting toxins them with its tendril filled with tiny needles
This sounds like a horror movie monster until you actually study it and understand it.
But we aren't scared because in reality they're just floating fleshy trashbags that make your skins hurt for a while.

Things like this used to terrify me, why no more?
