In the wild, survival depends on an animal’s ability to defend itself. Some creatures, like porcupines, use sharp quills to deter predators, while armadillos roll into armored balls for protection. Others, like the electric eel, can deliver powerful shocks to stun their enemies.
Many animals also use chemical defenses, such as skunks spraying foul-smelling liquid or poison dart frogs secreting toxins through their skin. These remarkable adaptations show how nature has equipped different species with extraordinary ways to stay safe.
