ELECTRIC EEL - Using a combination of its three electric organs, electric eels can generate

powerful or weak electrical discharges. Powerful discharges come from the Hunter's and
Main organ and are used to defend against predators or stun potential prey.

FISH - A variety of fishes use numerous sharp spines and armored scales to help fend off
predators. By swallowing a lot of water when alarmed, balloonfishes and pufferfishes can inflate
their bodies, erecting a number of very sharp spines.

TURTLE - Most sea turtle species have a hard shell that helps protect them from predators.
They are also very fast swimmers and are often able to evade danger. Leatherback sea turtles
have a soft shell, but are so large that are only in danger from the largest predators (and man)

SHRIMP - Its legs, eyes, and rostrum also grow out

of its hard shell. To protect themselves from
predators, shrimp possess a sharp beak or nose,
called the rostrum, that extends off the head of their
body. This beak also serves as a stabilizer when
swimming backward and forwards in the water.
 CAT - Cats have protractable claws. In their
normal, relaxed position, the claws are sheathed
with the skin and fur around the toe pads. This
keeps the claws sharp by preventing wear from
contact with the ground and allows the silent
stalking of prey.

SNAKE - Inject special toxins called venoms into

predators. Venoms are special chemicals that some
animals use to protect themselves from predators.
Venoms are usually stored in a special gland
inside the animal’s body. But, when an animal is
threatened by a predator, the animal can inject the
venom into the attacker with the help of a stinger,
fangs or claws.

PORCUPINE - Sharp spines serve as effective

protection for many animals. Spines are long,
narrow structures that can injure attacking
predators. Unlike stingers, which can inject
venom, spines simply work like a sharp spike
that can puncture the skin of a predator. Some
animals have only a few spines, but others are
completely covered in them.

GECKO –  Use camouflage to help them blend in with

their surroundings and avoid detection. Some animals
evolve color patterns that look almost exactly like their
habitats. These types of animals are very difficult to
see, which means that predators having trouble finding
them.
LION

Mane. Only male lions (but not all males) have

manes, which protect them from scratches when
they are fighting. Lionesses seem to prefer lions
with fuller darker manes, which surround the face
and may go down the back occasionally.

EAGLE

An eagle will use its incredibly strong feet and sharp

claws (talons) for defense. An eagle can also inflict
painful bites with its large, strong beak. The hooked end
of the beak is designed for tearing flesh.
