Eli5: Why do mammals have endoskeletons rather than exoskeletons when it makes them vulnerable to attack?
In: Biology
Really really simple answer, exoskeletons can only get so big before they aren’t structurally sound anymore
And endoskeletons are actually much better at holding all our organs in while increasing movement and flexibility
So we were able to grow bigger and dodge attacks at that bigger size with endoskeletons
