La vie «utilise» abondamment cette propriété de l'hexagone. Tout le monde pense aux alvéoles des abeilles ou des guêpes. Les coraux coloniaux «utilisent» aussi cette propriété. Chaque polypier individuel «cherche» à occuper le maximum d’espace, à ne pas laisser de trou entre lui et ses voisins, mais est «gêné» dans sa croissance par les autres polypiers. Là encore, ce sont des loges hexagonales qui vont occuper tout l'espace en minimisant l'importance des contacts entre individus. 3, record 2, French, - corail%20colonial
