Every living creature, from the tiny amoeba to the majestic blue whale (below), needs the right coat. Nature relies on ingenious materials and bold designs.

From impact resistant armor to silky soft fur.

All fashion styles seem to be allowed. But a closer look shows that all animals are bound by strict dress rules. Frogs or salamanders need thin, permeable skin, while crustaceans or beetles need hard armor.

And of course: anything warm-blooded is sensitive to cold and can’t survive without well-insulated clothing.

Nature does its best to provide all animals with an adequate wardrobe. But even in the animal kingdom, appearance isn’t everything: with the right clothing must come the right behavior.
