Lauren always has
'different' TALK TIME. Today we didn't let the SMELL put us off finding out just WHAT her news was!
Lauren told us she has a 'pet' CRAYFISH. We were amazed when she explained this was the crayfish's SHELL. We thought it was a dead crayfish!
We wanted to know what happened to the crayfish if it didn't have a shell.
Lauren explained that it had grown bigger, so it got rid of this shell and there was a new one underneath.
We think CRAYFISH are CLEVER to do this.

Here are some links to other animals that shed their skin or outer layer.

1M, do you know of any other animals that SHED their skin or outer layer as they grow?

People shed their skin and snakes and we have heaps of cicada shells in our yard.
You're absolutely right, Ben. It would be great if you could bring in some cicada shells to show the others.
