    GlossaryMolting

    process where animals periodically shed and replace their outer covering

    Molting, also known as shedding or moulting, is the biological process where animals periodically shed and replace their outer covering, such as feathers, fur, skin, or exoskeletons. This process is essential for growth, removing damaged or old tissue, and sometimes for seasonal changes in appearance or function. For example, birds molt their feathers to maintain optimal flight capabilities, while reptiles shed their skin to accommodate body growth.
