Do Animals Wear Clothes?

An illustration of various animals with the words "Do Animals Wear Clothes?"

Do Animals Wear Clothes?  Learn more in this program at 11am and 3pm.

Animals don’t wear clothes in the same way humans do, but they have various adaptations to protect themselves from the elements. For instance, many animals have fur, feathers, or scales that act as natural insulation against cold weather. Some animals, like certain primates and birds, may also use leaves, sticks, or other materials to create shelters or cover themselves for added protection.

In the wild, animals rely on their natural adaptations and behaviors to regulate their body temperature and protect themselves from environmental factors. However, in certain cases, humans have intervened and provided clothing or coverings for animals in captivity to mimic their natural habitats or protect them from harm.
