What a beaver’s height measures
Drawn at the same 1 ft 0 in: Miniature Schnauzer, Pug and Coati. Same drawing, different listings: a beaver’s and a Miniature Schnauzer’s figures are each the lower end of its range.
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.
