A snake has more than 300 vertebrae in its backbone, allowing for exceptional flexibility and agility in movement.
206 when fully grown over 300 when first born but as you reach adolesence certain bones have fused together to form longer, stronger bones, e.g. legs and skull
At birth, humans have cartilage that eventually fuses into bone, reducing the number of bones. Some bones fuse together as you grow older, such as the skull bones, resulting in the adult human skeleton having 206 bones.
An adult has 206 bones and a infant (baby) has 350 bones.
A newborn baby has around 270 bones, as some of their bones fuse together as they grow. An adult human typically has 206 bones.
A baby is born with around 300 joints, which include cartilaginous areas that will eventually become bones through the process of ossification. As an adult, this number decreases to around 206 joints due to the fusion of certain bones during development.
