Animals that have an exoskeleton will shed it when they have grown too large for it to fit properly. Reptiles, insect larvae, and many other organisms shed their skins. The periodic shedding of the cuticle in arthropods, the outer skin in reptiles, the antlers of deer, and bird feathers, is called molting.
