Human Skin

Natural Habitat

Typically found covering the external surface of the human body, in various environments globally.

Diet & Feeding

Not applicable; skin is an organ, not an organism that consumes food.

Behavior Patterns

Skin is a dynamic organ that continuously sheds dead cells, regulates body temperature, produces sweat and oil, and reacts to stimuli (e.g., goosebumps, tanning). The visible lines are a natural part of its texture.

Risks & Benefits

Benefits include protection against pathogens, UV radiation, and dehydration; sensory perception; and thermoregulation. Potential risks include skin conditions (e.g., eczema, acne), infections, and skin cancer due to excessive sun exposure or genetic factors.
