melena

A mane is a long, thick growth of hair that extends along the upper neck and back of certain animals, most notably observed in lions and horses. It forms a distinctive feature and often serves both practical and aesthetic purposes. In lions, the majestic mane is primarily found in males and plays a role in displaying dominance and attracting mates. It adds a regal and powerful appearance, emphasizing their stature and providing some protection to the neck during territorial disputes. In horses, the mane is abundant and can be styled in various ways, such as braiding or trimming, for both functional and decorative purposes. It helps to keep the neck warm, provides protection from insects, and can be used for gripping or handling the horse while riding or grooming.

escamas
each of the thin hard plates that cover the surface of the body of a fish or reptile
A scale is a small, overlapping, bony, or keratinous structure covering many animals' bodies, such as fish, reptiles, and certain mammals. They provide a protective outer layer that serves various functions. In fish, scales help reduce friction in the water, aiding in streamlined movement and reducing energy expenditure. They also provide a barrier against physical injuries and pathogens. Reptiles, such as snakes and lizards, have scales that provide protection from external elements, regulate body temperature, and assist in locomotion by providing traction. Scales in mammals, like pangolins and armadillos, are made of keratin and form tough, armor-like coverings for defense against predators. The diversity of scales across different species reflects their adaptability and importance in the animal kingdom, playing essential roles in locomotion, protection, and environmental adaptation.
plumón
the smooth fluffy feathers of a bird
Down refers to a type of feather found in birds that is characterized by its smooth and fluffy texture. It is made up of soft, fine filaments that lack the interlocking barbs found in other feathers, giving it a delicate and airy appearance. The down feathers are typically located beneath the outer feathers, close to the bird's body, and serve several important functions. They provide excellent insulation, trapping air and creating a layer of warmth next to the bird's skin, which helps regulate body temperature in both cold and hot environments. The fluffy structure of down feathers also allows for efficient buoyancy, aiding birds in floating on water surfaces. Down is highly valued for its insulating properties and is often used in the manufacturing of bedding, clothing, and insulation materials.
