Do you think it doesn’t matter what you wear? The opposite is true. Fur, scales, feathers, and shells may be attractive at first glance, but they aren’t just for show. Their unique functions help animals survive.

The polar bear is white, the cheetah has spots, and the hedgehog has spines. Since childhood, we learn to recognise animals by their appearance. This visually impressive Austrian documentary takes this perspective of the animal kingdom, celebrating the diversity and beauty of nature. It presents various types of body protection and their properties and functions, some of which may surprise you. For example, you may find out why zebras have stripes, what chameleons and cuttlefish have in common, and why macaws are so colourful.
