AI overview

A skeleton is the structural frame that supports an animal's body, and different animals have different types depending on their needs. The three main types are the exoskeleton (a rigid outer shell), the endoskeleton (a rigid internal frame inside the body), and the hydroskeleton (a flexible structure supported by fluid pressure).
