Animals with skeletons on the outside are called exoskeletons. This external skeleton provides support and protection for the animal's body. Examples include arthropods like insects and crustaceans.
The EXO-skeleton protects from OUTSIDE factors of danger,such as predators,weather,etc. While the ENDO-skeleton protects the organs of the animal..
Fish have a normal internal skeleton. Crayfish have a shell on the outside of their body and that does the job of a skeleton as well as protects the animal from some forms of attack.
Skeletons:All animals, including humans have skeletons. Humans have an internal skeleton. This means that our bones is on the inside of us. When an animal has an external skeleton it means that their skeleton is on the outside. These animals who have an external skeleton have what we commonly call shells. These shells are their skeleton which keeps their insides together. If you think of one of those big crabs and how there is a shell on the outside of them (not sea shells) this is their skeleton which is an external skeleton.
External, meaning outside. Thus, Outside(External) Skeleton.
The antonym of exoskeleton is endoskeleton. An endoskeleton is an internal skeleton found in vertebrates, whereas an exoskeleton is an external skeleton found in arthropods and some other invertebrates.
