Yes, the scales do overlap. The overlapping makes a more complete covering than if the scales butted up to each other. When the fish bends, the overlapped scales have freedom of movement, yet still keep the covering of the body intact.
No, a fish's scales do not shed as the fish grows larger. Instead, the fish's scales grow in size as the fish grows. The scales provide protection for the fish and do not need to be shed like skin or fur.
Swordfish during early juvenile stage of life (up to 8 inches long), have "scales" that are markedly specialized and rather unique. They are in the form of bony tubercules or expanded compressed platelike bodies. These scales are rough, having spinous projections at the surface and they do not overlap one another as the scales in most fish do. With growth the scales disappear and the adult fish including those sold commercially have no scales
Whitefish get their white color from the lack of pigment in their skin and scales. This lack of pigment allows light to reflect off their scales, giving them a white appearance. Whitefish use this coloration as camouflage in their natural habitat, helping them blend in with their surroundings.
First, remove the scales by scraping them off with a knife. Next, cut off the head and tail. Then, gut the fish by cutting along the belly from the anus to the gills to remove the entrails. Finally, rinse the fish thoroughly with clean water before cooking.
Cobras begin their lives as eggs. Once they hatch, they grow very quickly so they get big enough to avoid predators. Their fangs grow to be as long as one-half inch and they are olive, black, or brown, which aids in camouflage.
They grow them back.

Lilies grow from bulbs. The bulbs have overlapping scales. You can break off scales and grow new lilies asexually.
The fish has small, deciduous scales, which means they rub off easily.
Typically scales come off a fish if they have injured themselves against something in the aquarium, if there is another aggressive fish in the tank, or if they are ill with a parasite that needs to be treated.
they flack off the scales
it will be a naked fish lol duhhh. :)
Two ways: 1) With fork tines parallel to the fish skin, drag the tines against the direction of the scales or 2) Just fillet the skin off altogether and you don't have to worry about the scales.
Eyelashes fall out all the time but they will grow back.
No they do not shed there horns but if hit or damaged they will fall off and grow back
