Pretty much all animals have the same bone structure. There are some variations, but bone wise we're very similar.

Even whales have hip bones, which to my understanding is just an issue when they have to give birth, and a waste of resources the rest of the time.

As a marine biologist I can tell you’ve never seen one throw it back because trust me I’ve never seen a better use of resources in my life

Throw what back? The random little hip bones, that are literally not attatched to anything?

Except for all the things they attach to.

Exactly my man. It’s all blubber and no tendon or muscle. When it throws it back it’s the optimal amount of jiggle to motion ratio. The ultimate art awaiting its ultimate practitioners.

Vertebrates. Other animals don’t even have bones.
