Because the pose of an animal charge *is* something you can specify in heraldry. It's known as the animal's 'attitude'.

For example, while Huinesoron didn't specify the attitude of the snow leopard in the blazon, the snow leopard in the arms he presented was a Snow Leopard Sejant Regardant Proper, which translates to "A snow leopard, sitting down (Sejant), looking behind itself (Regardant), colored as a snow leopard would be in real life (Proper)."

Here's the Wikipedia article on attitudes in heraldry if you want to look through it.
