Below are some similarities and differences between the human skeletal system and the palpation of the fetal pig skeletal system.

Similarities
Both bones can break easily at the fetal stage, as it approaches to be an adult, the structure becomes rigid (uneasy to break).
Similar bone structures and functions but different in terminologies.

Differences
Fetal pig has a tail while humans don’t.
Fetal pig has 5 vertebrae compared to humans which only have 3 vertebrae.
