Animal Skeleton

Humans have 206 bones in their bodies, while dogs have 319 to 321, depending on their tail length. Dogs with longer tails have more bones than those with shorter tails. Another factor that may reduce the average number of bones in a dog’s body is removal, either for artificial or medical purposes. Whether you have a small dog like the Chihuahua or a large one like the Labrador, the number of bones in each of them is the same.
