Arthropods (insects, arachnids, crustaceans, centi/millipedes) and nematode worms do it by shedding their skin to grow. Amphibians, reptiles (skin) and birds (feathers) also do it. Mammals shed, which really is the same thing as moulting feathers, but we don't call it moulting, so. ^^

The Puffin, they shed the colourful outer parts of their bills after the breeding season.

Puffins are the only birds to molt their beaks. The Puffins beaks are brightly colored to attract mates and then they shed the outer layer after mating season.
