how does the molting mechanism work in the winter coats of animals? Like what triggers molting? Does it happen in a lab setting or if the climate isn’t correct?
In: Biology
The length of the day really triggers so much in the animal kingdom, because the length of the day doesn’t change every year whereas temperatures fluctuate, not to mention global warming. (Not saying that daylight/day-night cycle is the only factor here though!)
Idk what would happen if you were to keep an animal from ever experiencing daylight, but it would probably not like it. Maybe it won’t ever molt? Maybe it will molt randomly? Someone else ought to know more about this than me.
