Skin is an incredible, multi-function organ that science is still learning so much about. It has adapted to allow animals to conquer virtually every habitat on the planet.
How does a giraffe stay cool? What are different porcupine quills teaching us about medicine? What makes some people more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes than others?
Why are male mandrill faces red and blue? How are birds' feathers so colourful? What do ringtail lemurs do to talk to one another? Their skin holds the key.
What is the most toxic animal on earth? How are porcupine quills helping us in medicine? Why is a rhino armour plated, and it is not to protect them from lions?
Exploring how some snakes can see using heat, how crocodiles feel through their jaws and how some animals use electricity to navigate their world and it is all only possible because of remarkable adaptations to their skin.
