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.
