Fibonacci numbers are said to be
Golden ratio on Tiger’s face, fish, penguin and dolphin
as one of the nature's numbering
systems. The leaf arrangements in

Many parts of the body are in pair like
arms, legs, eyes, buds. Parts of the human
body follow the Fibonacci, 2 hands with 5
digits, and 8 fingers each contains 3 section.
The ratio of forearm to hand is phi and other
parts of the human body.
The position and proportions of the
key dimensions of many animals are
based on Phi or φ.
Even the human face contains spirals and
the human DNA contains phi proportions.
