Which mammal has the most ribs?
WHICH ANIMAL HAS THE MOST RIBS? Snakes have the maximum number of ribs. On an average they have 200 to 400 bones (Vertibrae ) and each have a pair of ribs on either side.
What animal has 400 bones?
Snakes have between 200-400 vertebrae with as many ribs attached! That is what makes them so flexible and helps them move along! All those bones and the strong muscles protect the internal organs. The throat of the snake takes up the front one-third of the body.
Which animal has most brains?
sperm whale
The sperm whale has the biggest brain of any animal species, weighing up to 20 pounds (7 to 9 kilograms). Larger brains don’t necessarily make a smarter mammal. But as mammals evolved, many groups, from Primates to Carnivora, have shown independent increases in brain size.
Which is the animal with the most bones?
I am not really sure. James could be right; elephants have about 350 bones or so. Snakes are certainly the animal with the most bones. One interesting thing about the bones though of mammals and reptiles is that the bones in the jaw of the reptile are the bones that now form the inner ear in mammals. It is a very cool piece of co-opted evolution.
Are there bones in the jaw of reptiles?
One interesting thing about the bones though of mammals and reptiles is that the bones in the jaw of the reptile are the bones that now form the inner ear in mammals. It is a very cool piece of co-opted evolution. Co-opted evolution is where structure being used for one thing, are used for something different in a descendant.
Which is mammal has more than seven cervical vertebrae?
Almost all mammals have seven neck bones, including giraffes with long necks and whales with short necks.
Which is characteristic of the skeletal system of a mammal?
The mammalian skeletal system shows a number of advances over that of lower vertebrates. The mode of ossification (bone formation) of the long bones is characteristic.

Are there any animals on Earth that have no bones?
A jellyfish has zero bones. Or an earthworm. Or an octopus. Or literally every invertebrate animal on Earth. Only vertebrates (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish) have bones.
