What an Andean bear’s height measures

Drawn at the same 2 ft 3.5 in: Giant panda, King penguin and Central Asian Shepherd Dog. Same drawing, different listings: an Andean bear’s, a giant panda’s and a king penguin’s figures are each the lower end of its range, a Central Asian Shepherd Dog’s a minimum.

This is a published species or breed reference, not a prediction for an individual animal. Where a range is supplied, both ends appear with the reading. Shoulder height and head height are kept apart when comparing animals.
