What is an external skeleton and an internal skeleton?
Skeletons:All animals, including humans have skeletons. Humans have an internal skeleton. This means that our bones is on the inside of us. When an animal has an external skeleton it means that their skeleton is on the outside. These animals who have an external skeleton have what we commonly call shells. These shells are their skeleton which keeps their insides together. If you think of one of those big crabs and how there is a shell on the outside of them (not sea shells) this is their skeleton which is an external skeleton.
How many bones the crab skeleton have?
Crabs do not have a traditional skeleton made of bones like vertebrates. Instead, they possess an exoskeleton, which is a hard outer structure made of chitin. This exoskeleton provides protection and support to their body, and it can vary in thickness and composition among different crab species. Therefore, crabs do not have a specific number of bones, as they lack a bony skeleton altogether.

What are the differences between the crab and the bird skeleton?
Crabs are exoskeletal - their hard skin forms the skeleton on the outside - and it is made of a tough protein (chitin). Birds are endoskeletal, an internal skeleton with a backbone (vertebral column), the bones having a significant inorganic component, carbonated hydroxyapatite containing calcium and some phosphorus.
