A cartilage skeleton is a structure primarily composed of cartilage, a flexible and resilient connective tissue, rather than bone. This type of skeleton is characteristic of certain animals, such as sharks and rays, which belong to the class Chondrichthyes. In some juvenile vertebrates, like amphibians, a cartilage skeleton can also serve as a precursor to a bony skeleton that develops later in life. Cartilage allows for greater flexibility and lighter weight compared to a bony skeleton.
