Making a whole skeleton from an owl pellet is challenging because the pellet contains only the indigestible parts of the prey, primarily bones, fur, and feathers, which can be fragmented and mixed together. As owls digest their food, they break down soft tissues and may crush bones, leading to incomplete or damaged remains. Additionally, the variety of prey types consumed by owls means that the bones found in a single pellet may not represent a single skeleton, making it difficult to reconstruct an entire organism accurately.
Putting a whole skeleton together can be difficult because there are many different bones that need to be connected in the right order, and they can be fragile and easily break if not handled properly. Additionally, the complexity of the skeletal system and the various joints and connections between bones can make it challenging to assemble the entire skeleton accurately.

A baby is born with 303 bones. Some of these bones will later fuse with other bones to form one bone. A baby has 176 true bones.
together about, 200 bones make up the human skeleton.
There are 206 bones in the adult human skeleton, a number which varies between individuals and with age - newborn babies have over 300 bones some of which fuse together. These bones are organized into a longitudinal axis, the axial skeleton, to which the appendicular skeleton is attached.

Ligaments connect bones together, so a skeleton is basically held together by ligaments, which are tough, non-expandable and non-elastic. Tendons connect muscles to bones, and these are slightly more elastic although they're definitely not supposed to be stretched.
