Size comparisons

[GuateGojira]

In fact you are right, the lynx is too large from my point of view, it should be about the same size than the clouded leopard. However I scaled it with the largest size recorded, which is of a head-body length of 148 cm, according with Sunquist & Sunquist (2002). However I have my doubts about it because it is as large as the largest cheetah, so probably that size was taken over the curves of the animal, or maybe it was an error and actually it was a total length. The other lynx records are no more than 110 cm, which is more reliable. Maybe I can change it, if I found the original source of the informatin of Dr Sunquist.

The size of the clouded leopard is correct, is scaled with the largest specimen measured in the flesh by Austin & Tewes (1999) with a head-body of 108 cm.

If I found more information about the lynx size I may update the graphic. Thanks for the commentary. Reply
