It may be difficult to imagine when looking at a tiny newborn baby, but that infant has around 300 bones — and those bones are growing and changing shape every day.

Adults, on the other hand, have 206 bones, which make up about 15 percent of their body weight.

Wait — did we really just say that babies have nearly 100 more bones than adults? How is that possible?

Well, even though bones appear to be tough and rigid, they’re actually made up of living tissue and calcium that’s always being built up and discarded throughout your life.
