In Layers of the Skin, evolutionary biologist Ben Garrod explores the fascinating science of skin and how mammals, amphibians, fish, reptiles, and birds share a similar basic skin structure, despite differences in appearance and function. Learn about the three main layers of skin: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous fat layer. Each layer plays an important role in helping animals adapt to their environment, providing protection, flexibility, and sensitivity. See how skin can be tough, flexible, colorful, and capable of growing feathers, hair, and even teeth. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Secrets of Skin, a documentary series exploring the natural history of the body's largest organ.
