747-400 Query...

Hello all,
I hope this in the correct forum so my apologies if it isn't, i've also had a search but had no luck finding my exact query, so here goes!
I was watching a 744 Video on FL350 yesterday when i noticed something that i haven't seen before.
Upon touchdown, as Reverse Thrust is applied the 744 LE Kruegers retract automatically, could anyone please give me a brief explanation as to why? Is it a common attribute across most aircraft?
Just a matter of curiousity really; tried applying some ToF principles but couldn't reach a sensible explanation!
Any insight would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Geoff
