Armored skin, bony plates, and shells are key defenses animals employ to survive in their natural surroundings.

They'll learn how animals use their armor to protect against specific predators. Lively fact boxes, along with sidebars and accessible descriptions of current scientific research, help students discover the more unusual aspects of animal armor.
