Yes, vertebrates have an internal skeleton made of bone or cartilage that grows with the animal as it matures, eliminating the need to shed a skeleton. This growth occurs through the addition of new bone tissue, allowing the skeleton to expand and support the increasing size of the body. In contrast, some invertebrates must molt or shed their exoskeletons to accommodate growth. Thus, vertebrates have a more continuous skeletal development throughout their lives.

Does a jaguar shed as it grows?
yes, yes it does.
What is it when insects shed their skeleton?
Insects shed their exoskeleton in order to grow. They expand quickly before the next exoskeleton hardens.
Why do snake's shed?
Snakes shed because there skin does not grow with there body, as human skin grows with the body. Snakes shed more when there young and shed less when there older. Rattlesnakes grow a new layer of there rattle every time they shed, so the older the louder.
Do spiders have an exoskeleton?
Yes, spiders have an exoskeleton, which is a hard, external covering that provides support and protection for their bodies. This exoskeleton is made of a tough protein called chitin and must be shed periodically as the spider grows.
Do a fish's scales shed as the fish grows larger?
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.
What happens to an animal's exoskeleton as the animal grows?

Why does shedding skin help the snake?
Trantulas must shed their exoskeltons so that they can grow.this is called ecdysis or moltingit's very important for a spider's life
Is scorpion endoskeleton?
Scorpions do not have an endoskeleton; instead, they possess an exoskeleton made of chitin, which provides support and protection. This external skeleton must be periodically shed through a process called molting as the scorpion grows. Unlike endoskeletons found in vertebrates, an exoskeleton limits growth and requires this regular shedding to accommodate the scorpion's size.
How does the animals with skeleton external grow?
An animal (insect) with an exoskeleton still grows under its exoskeleton like any other animal (insect). The exoskeleton is like a suit of armor, when the animal (insect) grows to big to fit inside its exoskeleton it sheds it, and a newer exoskeleton will grow to fit the animal (insect).
Why do oysters need to shed their shell?
Shells are a kind of external skeleton The shells grow by adding new material to the edges as the animal inside gets bigger in this way the animal is protected by its shell all the time and does not have to moult or shed their shell.
What is shedding of an insect's skeleton?
insects don't have internal skeletons, structural integrity is provided by a hard chitin coat which the insect has to shed every often as it grows inside it.
What type of skeleton do woodlice have?
Woodlice have an exoskeleton, which is a hard outer structure that provides support and protection. This exoskeleton is made of chitin, a polysaccharide that is common in arthropods. Unlike vertebrates, woodlice do not have an internal skeleton; instead, their exoskeleton must be periodically shed and renewed through a process called molting as they grow.
Does a toad have an exoskeleton?
No. Salamanders (and their relatives the newts) are amphibians which are vertebrates. This means that they have a n internal skeleton like humans do. Some people believe that salamanders and newts have an exoskeleton but this is usually because people find shed skin in the water because salamanders and newts shed their skin like snakes do.
