How to read the visual
The diagram uses the recorded measurements. Details outside the marked spans do not set the scale.
- We use 60 cm for the straight carapace length of an alligator snapping turtle; the recorded range is 40 cm–80 cm.
- The straight carapace length of an alligator snapping turtle: This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same.
- The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
This comparison follows the selected length only; other dimensions may differ.
