For instance, the tortise has a thick strong almost unbreakable shell covering the whole body, snails and other invertelrate creatures also have shell covers, Mollusc has hard shell enclosing its body, one of the species of pigs has sharp thorny needles in the body lest other animals should attack. Number of examples can be multiplied this way. In this regard, what is important to be noted here is that every creature has instinctive fear of danger from outside and therefore gradually developed in its body some kind of self protective device. - [Previous: c7.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c7.1) - [Next: c8.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c8.2) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c8.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c8.1) · Pramāṇa
