What are the similarities between a human skeleton and a dolphin skeleton?

Answer:
Other than both having a spinal column, the vertebral structures of dolphins and humans are not very similar, one being adapted to swimming and the other to upright walking. The dolphin skeleton is more flexible and not as strong, and the hind limbs are represented only by small vestigial bones.
