Snowflakes contain six-fold
symmetry which no two are exactly the
same. There are evidences that

hexagonal snowflakes have an atomic
geometry of ice crystals. Animals and fish stripes and spots attest
to mathematical regularities in biological
growth and form. Evolutionary and functional
arguments are explain by the patterns of
animals.

Tigers, zebras, cats and snakes are
covered in patterns of stripes; leopards and
