She Sells Spiral Seashells by the Seashore


Construction of an equiangular spiral:






    It is called an equiangular spiral because all radii from its center intersect the spiral itself at exactly the same angle.



    Many equiangular spirals can be found in the animal kingdom.  For example, the horns of wild sheep, spiderwebs, parrot beaks, cat and canary claws, and elephant tusks are all equiangular spirals.
