carnivores teeth length VS. their skull length

Carnivorans include carnivores, omnivores, and even a few primarily herbivorous species, such as the Giant Panda. Important teeth for carnivorans are the large, slightly recurved canines, used to dispatch prey, and the carnassial complex, used to rend meat from bone and slice it into digestible pieces.

We compare the carnassial teeth of carnivores with their skull lengths to see if there is any correlation between these two characteristics.

We intended to do a pretty graph like everyone else. But we failed. Sorry, all we can provide is this ugly thing below.
