How many bones do the following animals have? crocodile, eagle,
elephant, lion, tyranosaur and a fully grown cobra. I'd like something
more precise than circa 200-300, but realize the answer will vary
depending on exactly what is counted as a bone.

Finding the number of bones for the animals you listed is harder than
I thought it would be. The only thing I could come up with after a
brief search was the following:

The largest crocodile species in the world has 250 bones (excluding
skull and armor).

I found this at: http://www.supercroc.com/anatomy.htm

Hopefully others can do better than I did.
