What a guanaco’s height measures

Drawn at the same 2 ft 11.5 in: Fallow deer. Same drawing, different listings: a guanaco’s figure is the lower end of its range, a fallow deer’s the lower end of its male 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.
