Fig. 3. Logarithmic plot of rotational inertia versus body mass for
Iguana iguana (gray triangles), Varanus exanthematicus
(filled circles) and murine rodents (open diamonds). Broken lines indicate
extrapolation beyond the measured data set. The scaling relationships shown
were determined from reduced major axis slopes. Rotational inertia values from
two 9 g iguanas were averaged (mean
1.44x10-5±5.01x10-7 kg
m2), as were those from four 10 g iguanas (mean
1.83x10-5±1.45x10-6 kg
m2).
