English: Partial view of the Mandelbrot set. Step 3 of a zoom sequence: "Seahorse" upside down. Its "body" is composed by 25 "spokes" consisting of 2 groups of 12 "spokes" each and one "spoke" connecting to the main cardioid. These 2 groups can be attributed by some kind of metamorphosis to the 2 "fingers" of the "upper hand" of the Mandelbrot set. Therefore the number of "spokes" increases from one "seahorse" to the next by 2. The "hub" is a so called Misiurewicz point. Between the "upper part of the body" and the "tail" a distorted satellite can be recognized.

Deutsch: Teilansicht der Mandelbrot-Menge. Ausschnitt 3 einer Zoom-Sequenz: "Seepferdchen". Der "Körper" wird von 25 "Speichen" gebildet, von denen sich zwei Zwölfergruppen nach Art einer Metamorphose auf jeweils einen der beiden "Finger" an der "oberen Hand" des Apfelmännchens zurückführen lassen (siehe Startbild). Die Zahl der "Speichen" nimmt daher von einem "Seepferdchen" zum nächsten um zwei zu. Die "Nabe" wird von einem Misiurewicz-Punkt gebildet wird. Zwischen "Oberkörper" und "Schwanz" ist ein deformierter Satellit erkennbar.
