Do snakes use math to create their patterns?
In order to generate a pattern, I played with dots and a sine function, and by accident found something which reminds me of snake skin patterns.

Generated pattern: (using JavaScript's Math.cos function):

Do you know other simple ways of generating patterns which resemble animal patterns?
My pattern consists of sine data - here's a version with different i and x progress showing this: http://codepen.io/TobiReif/pen/KwdVLV
This version
i ++;
x += canvas.height * 0.00254;
vs this one:
i += 0.5;
x += canvas.height * 0.2;
