Exoskeleton

23. Exoskeleton

(You may need to zoom in on this picture to see the ants.)


This is a picture of an ant. The picture is an example of an exoskeleton. An exoskeleton is an external covering which houses the body or the animal's "guts". The exoskeleton also serves as a support so the body does not fall apart or so the animal is able to move. These types of animals can be found in water and on land, some examples include, crabs, lobster and ants.
