Another reason animal cells don't need a central vacuole is that animal bodies have skeletons or other means of providing structure. Unlike plant cells, which rely on a central vacuole for turgor pressure to maintain rigidity and structural support, animal cells have other structural components such as a cytoskeleton and, in many cases, an external skeleton (like in arthropods) that provide support and shape.
