Long-bone scaling has been analyzed in a large number of terrestrial mammals for which body masses were known. Earlier proposals that geometric or elastic similarity are suitable as explanations for long-bone scaling across a large size range are not supported. Differential scaling is present, and l

## Abstract We measured the lengths and diameters of four long bones from 118 terrestrial carnivoran species using museum specimens. Though intrafamilial regressions scaled linearly, nearly all intraordinal regressions scaled non‐linearly. The observed non‐linear scaling of bone dimensions within t
