Research of whale shark appearance

The whale shark has a lateral line which is a system of sense organs found in aquatic vertebrates. This lateral line seems to repeat around the back of the whale shark from its gill to its tail. And as the whale shark moves the lateral line seems to twist.

Seahorse Research

I got interested in the unique form of the seahorse. Just looking at the seahorse you can see the inner bone structure inside.

I couldn't get a real seahorse so I searched for some hi-quality photos of the seahorse.
I tried to analyze the form of the seahorse by looking at dried seahorse, skeleton, and x-rays.

- Appearance : Thin skin stretched over a series of bony plates, which are arranged in rings throughout their body.
- The four sided rectangular piece repeats itself from tail to neck, making a generative structure.
- From the bottom body to neck, this piece duplicates.
- The edge of each bone plates is a spike form.
- From the skeleton and x-ray picture, there seems to be a thick central bone going across the entire body.
