Crabs are exoskeletal - their hard skin forms the skeleton on the outside - and it is made of a tough protein (chitin). Birds are endoskeletal, an internal skeleton with a backbone (vertebral column), the bones having a significant inorganic component, carbonated hydroxyapatite containing calcium and some phosphorus.
