What a leopard’s height measures

Drawn at the same 1 ft 11.5 in: Aardvark, Tosa and Siberian Husky. Same drawing, different listings: a leopard’s figure is the lower end of its male range, a Tosa’s a minimum, a Siberian Husky’s the top 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.
