Bones become brittle outside of the body primarily due to the loss of moisture and the breakdown of their organic components, such as collagen. When bones are removed from the body, they can dry out, leading to a decrease in flexibility and an increase in fragility. Additionally, exposure to environmental factors can cause chemical changes that weaken the bone structure. These changes contribute to the brittleness and increased susceptibility to fracturing when bones are outside the living organism.
