Bone starts as cartilage in the fetus. As the fetus takes on the final shape, this cartilage arranges, and enough hardening occurs in the limbs to allow the creature to stand shortly after birth. At that point, all the bones begin to harden, and continues to harden all throughout life. Bones contain a level of cartilage all the way until old age.
