What appears to be some sort of lacy coral reef here, is in fact the delicate structure of a rabbit's nasal sinus cavity. Like the earler image of cranial fissures mimicking the flow of a river, the math and physics behind the formation of these structures is very similar to that which governs the formation of coral. It makes sense, if you think about it, because at a fundamental level both structures serve very similar physical purposes.
