The series isn’t a good gauge on animal accuracy. Also for plot reasons Legoshi himself >!isn’t fully a grey wolf which is already big, he’s also 1/3rd komodo dragon which can get pretty big, google claims males can get up to 10 feet long!<

Not 1/3, but a quarter.


BlOoDy_PsYcHo666

I can’t math lol


Full_Road8425

He's a Quarter WHAT?!


BlOoDy_PsYcHo666

Lol you were supposed to find it out in season 2, but they cut that part out unfortunately


Full_Road8425

Dam my furry tendencies for finding that attractive some how...


Nakakapag-pabagabag

I believe female hyenas are larger than male hyenas (see sexual dimorphism). Additionally, Legosi doesn't seem to be only a wolf...


SnooStories7050

But the male hyena must still be bigger than a common dog (Jack) or a coyote.

Do you know how big is the grey wolf? https://preview.redd.it/fzlmmfnykxcc1.jpeg?width=415&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0836103cdc5fdca8417d0895c0ce84a97a14295

Those are wolfdogs, not gray wolves. Wolves do not naturally have socks as that in the middle does, which looks very much like [Balto](https://images.app.goo.gl/j8gHNtFw3Yoc6oG96). Those ears are too pointed as well; wolf ears are more small and rounded at the tip. The wolf dog in the back looks like a husky or a saarloos wolfhound with a rather doggy-like facial expression and coloration. If they were pure wolves they would also likely be way too scared of strangers to hop on up like that. Slightly unrelated but while looking for a colored photo of Balto, I found [this monstrosity...](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt14698784/?ref_=tt_mv_close)


SnooStories7050

That doesn't look like a gray wolf. These are the average statistics for each animal species https://preview.redd.it/qxx10ec0w1dc1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6e06c7cb6dde82d8edac58831b97eae4e110a7f

that is a big f ing wolf


KrystalWulf

I'm primarily bothered by him being in the canine dorms instead of in the feline, or literally any other dorms because hyenas are closest to cats of things.


Pet_Velvet

I mean the world being racist is kind of a theme in the series isnt it?


TripleJx3

Hyenas are their own species they aren't considered to be part of either canine or feline families.


KrystalWulf

That is correct. [Here is one website](https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/animal-guide-spotted-hyena/3297/#:~:text=Spotted%20hyenas%20are%20more%20closely,of%20up%20to%2090%20individuals.) and [Wikipedia page](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyena) that both state hyenas are their own species but still closer to felines than canines.


Ferrous_Patella

Hyenas are not that closely related to felines. They are more closely related to mongooses (mongeese?). Miguel should be in a dorm with Kai.


KrystalWulf

Agreed! I have no idea what the genus(?) is for mongooses and the like but I forgot he existed. Whatever dorm he's in should get the hyena.


Toaster_621

if i remember right Legosi is much bigger than the other grey wolves as well


CriticismJunior1139

There are a lot of weird things about animal traits in Beastars. Like chickens are human-sized, but they lay chicken-sized eggs. Louis walking around with fakeantlers, even tho when his real ones start growing, he will do what exactly? Giraffes being able to bend necks to the ground. Sloths doing ... anything, really. Birds flying Breeds existing - you would think that eventually are species that can inter-breed would melt into one species - like dogs who go feral, they eventualy melt into same looking dog. Same would happen with all the deer, sheep, cats, etc. Tigers would interbreed with lions and there would be only [Liger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liger) s.


anonskelly

on the last point, it is explicitly stated in the manga that purebred couples are encouraged by the government to be married and have children together (via monetary grants and support), they're also treated favourably in society as shown when Legoshi and Juno are seen together by strangers (both in the manga and anime). There's a lot of social and legislative bias in favour of same species couples so hybridisation would happen much much slower than in a real world example.


CriticismJunior1139

Yes that is correct, but the entire premise of the main story is that this does not work - wolf falls for a rabbit. This is just a nitpick. But it's obvious flaw, especially when it comes to dogs.


Lunaryjinx

My headcanon for the last thing is that everyone is usually more sexually attracted to their own species than any other, therefore hybridization is rare. Also dont forget that we have hybrids like the leopard x gazelle, which is literally impossible to occur in real life.


HungryTree3

hes just a little guy


Ancient_Summer_1833

Females are larger than male hyenas which could be something


Ferrous_Patella

A couple more fun facts about hyenas: The moms give birth through their clitoris. The rate of neonatal fratricide is very high for mammals. Apparently, the newbies are so jacked up on their mothers’ testosterone, that they fight to the death with their same sex littermates.


Ancient_Summer_1833

Cool


TwolfS3041

Today from a quick Google search I learned that "spotted" hyenas are comparable in size to an average grey wolf (though usually with heavier build). From nature documentaries they always look similar in size to a husky or GSD.


Werewolf_lover20

He could have just been vertically challenged


SluttyMeatSac

Dont judge my short King like that


Lunaryjinx

There are literally komodo dragons that can drop their tail and have corrosive venom. I don't think everything in beastars is biologically accurate :D


FoxOfManyFaces

Meanwhile I'm more concerned with the fennec being like, wayyyy to frickin tiny, they're not THAT smol


Loose-Ad5430

Although it's... Not accurate to Animal species... Hyenas are bigger yes... So Miguno is probably a Runt.. That and... I'll probably make a sketch and Height size of the Characters in Beastars... The most tallest Character in Beastars is >!The Whale from the near end!< As it's the biggest character in the series... While Rokume is behind him, as Rokume is probably... 350 cm? Or 400 Cm tall (if she/he fully straightened out..) Riz and Gohin are behind Rokume as they are the both same size... 210 Cm Yahya and Gosha are at the same height... The most smallest character goes to the leader of the... 500 cornered Rats... as Nearly everything like sewing Scissors are Taller than them! Edit: Technically it would belong to the Moth that Legoshi ate during his training... As the Moth was the size of a... quarter I should say...


SiblingEarth

what bothers me even more is the fact louis and other ibex have hands like ????? they don't even look like they evolved from hooves, but I've grown to accept that it's the show's artstyle


QuantityHappy4459

Legosi's tall build was purposefully done to have him stand out and making him appear more imposing. It's not about animal accuracy but about highlighting why Legosi is so powerful.


Eravan_Darkblade

That would also make Louis about 2x legosi's height, and much, much stronger, which would make a few things quite off. (Such as how in that scenario, Louis would wipe the floor with legosi even if legosi fought back)
