moultingPeriodic shedding of the hair or fur of mammals, feathers of birds, or skin of reptiles. In mammals and birds, moulting is usually seasonal and is triggered by changes of day length. The term is also often applied to the shedding of the exoskeleton of arthropods, but this is more correctly called ecdysis. How to thank TFD for its existence?
