Frogs have several types of bones that can be categorized into two main groups: axial and appendicular skeletons. The axial skeleton includes the skull and vertebral column, which protect the brain and spinal cord, respectively. The appendicular skeleton consists of the limbs and pelvic girdle, aiding in locomotion. Frogs also have unique adaptations in their limb bones, such as elongated femurs and fused bones, to enhance jumping capabilities.
A frog's skeletal system is comprised of 159 bones.
No. Frog legs are eaten much like chicken, you eat the meat and discard the bones.
How are they the same? The bones in a frog are inside of its body and humans are the same way. How are they different? They are different because their fingers and toes are webbed.

There are 159 bones in a full grown frog and same goes for the tedpoles, the baby frogs.

Common frog bones include the skull, vertebrae, humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, fibula, and phalanges.
A frog's lower limb consists of several bones, including the femur, tibiofibula, and several tarsal, metatarsal, and phalangeal bones. Specifically, there are typically 6 main bones in the thigh and shank combined, along with additional bones in the foot. Overall, the total number of bones in the lower limb can vary slightly between species, but there are generally around 15-20 bones in the lower limb of a frog.

No, frog bones are not soft. They are made of the same material as other vertebrate bones, primarily calcium phosphate, which gives them their rigidity and strength. They are adapted for the unique needs of frogs in supporting their bodies and allowing for movement.
