Animal Structures

Why does a snail have a shell? How did giraffes get such long necks? Animal Structures explores how an animal?s unique form helps it overcome the challenges of surviving, growing, and meeting its needs. This series uses easy-to-understand language to explain how and why animals look the way they do and how they adapt to their environment, sometimes in very unusual ways.
