At the risk of sounding like a humourless git, am I the only person here who thinks the lion picture on this page is excessively silly? Just wondering. The Singing Badger 20:32, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- It was changed recently. In my opinion the "grrrrrr!" balloon is a bit out of style on a scientific page. Seems like someone's joke in a wrong place. Paul Pogonyshev 23:30, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Weights of Mammals on Wikipedia (Carnivora)
[edit]Here's the table I made February 5 2023 for Carnivora species listed in Wikipedia (when searching from List of mammal genera, the linked genus pages from this page and the species page listed in the genus page).
Information on adult weight is not given in 63 species, two of these 63 have weights of newborns. Remark that Dog do not have any data on weight in the main page.

Two closing curly braces before chapter 'Classification of the extant carnivorans'
[edit]I don't see what they are good for. 94.218.76.27 (talk) 13:08, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- I've removed them. The curly braces are used for a series of nested {{clade}} templates that are used to create the cladogram. An extra closing double brace was inadvertently left when editing the cladogram. — Jts1882 | talk 13:26, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- And, to clarify my own earlier edit, that was because you inadvertently deleted the wrong set of brackets. Obviously an innocent mistake, but it had to be fixed. Anaxial (talk) 13:27, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Duplication in lead section
[edit]"The caniforms include the dogs, bears, raccoons, weasels, and seals. Members of this group are found worldwide and with immense diversity in their diet, behavior, and morphology." Is this necessary after it has already been mentioned above in "the Caniformia, containing the true canids (such as wolves and dingos) and many somewhat "dog-like" forms such as sea lions and bears." Many miles to go (talk) 04:00, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
Respell
[edit]I believe per respell rules that kar-NIV-ər-ə is incorrect. The correct respell should be kar-NIH-vər-ə because the checked I is in an accented, not unaccented, syllable. @Anaxial: do you agree? - UtherSRG (talk) 11:32, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
