Hi all,

thanks for the interest.

yes, printing is an option; measuring with Open Office is an easier
option.  In either case one would need to measure the length of the
skull; measure the length of the ruler in the photo and do some simple
math to calibrate the measurement to ruler.  Instructions are here:
http://wikieducator.org/Coyote/Project_tools.  It can also be done
with the total width.

Long term goals:  add photographs of >40 coyote skulls from Texas
through Alaska; from east coast & West coast.  The idea is that
students can test two hypotheses:
1  Bergmann's Rule: Animals get larger as you go north
2. East coast Coyotes are larger than west coast Coyotes (because of
hybridization with wolves)

We hope others will find other ways to make use of the photos.

Cheers,

Declan
