Definition for Carapace

Carapace refers to the hard, protective outer shell or covering found on the back or surface of various animals, particularly crustaceans like crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. It acts as a shield, offering protection* against predators and providing structural support for the creature's body. The carapace is made up of a tough, rigid material called chitin, which is secreted by the animal's underlying skin. In addition to safeguarding the vital organs, the carapace also aids in maintaining body moisture and helps regulate temperature. This exoskeleton* is often intricately patterned and can vary in color and texture, allowing creatures to blend into their surroundings or display vibrant displays as a means of communication.
