Bilateral Symmetry

Captured at Mammoth

When one thinks about symmetry they think of geometry and shapes. Never symmetry in animals or plants. This picture of a white tail deer is an example of bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry is when an organism is divided down a central line or middle and is symmetrical. Many organisms have bilateral symmetry and fewer ones have radical symmetry, which leads onto the next post.
