--- you do realize that the Fibonacci Sequence and Pi both describe curves. There are circles in nature (planets, water ripples etc) and there curves described by the Fibonacci Sequence and the related Golden ratio. Neither is more mystifying than the other.

But while I'm not sure why it would matter, I will point out that the "average meandering ratio (the ratio between straight and winding) of rivers approaches pi. What Makes Pi So Special? And rivers are not circles.

Quote: Albert Einstein was the first to explain this fascinating fact. He used fluid dynamics and chaos theory to show that rivers tend to bend into loops. The slightest curve in a river will generate faster currents on the outer side of the curve, which will cause erosion and a sharper bend. This process will gradually tighten the loop, until chaos causes the river to suddenly double back on itself, at which point it will begin forming a loop in the other direction.

Because the length of a near-circular loop is like the circumference of a circle, while the straight-line distance from one bend to the next is diameter-like, it makes sense that the ratio of these lengths would be pi-like.
