The outer skeleton is found in a rhinoceros – a horn, an armadillo – a thyroid covering of the body, crustaceans and others. They have a shell outside the body or have a mixed type of skeleton. A person has an internal skeleton, since the bones do not come out of the skin. But there is no need to confuse teeth and skeleton. Teeth are not skeletal.
