The outer coverings of a duck and a lizard serve different functions suited to their environments. A duck's feathers provide insulation, waterproofing, and buoyancy, allowing it to thrive in aquatic habitats. In contrast, a lizard's scaly skin helps prevent water loss in arid environments and provides protection from predators. These adaptations reflect their distinct lifestyles and ecological needs.
