Abstract. We demonstrate that for animal organisms there seems an inverse relationship between symmetry of the form and abilities of the organism. A "very perfect" body could do almost nothing; therefore probably it could not even plan any action either. In the maximally symmetric animal body almost nothing would exist inside to be expressed outside.
