This is definitely how the previous leopard was measured. This is a good example of an animal been measured "along the curves", but again, the tape is not been pressed in all points, is hold fairly straight, the animal is not unnaturally stretched and like I say before, this method had many variations, different tools and people, and can't be classified as a single, simple and normally used method.

This is not showed in the draws of books, and depends of the person making the measurements. Individual pictures or personal testimonies are very important in this cases. Reply
