A scientific box plot chart titled 'Figure 4' showing PC2 values for various carnivore families (Canidae, Felidae, Hyaenidae, 'Musteloids', Ursidae, Viverridae) with statistical distributions. The cheetah (Felidae) is visually depicted as a single extreme outlier far to the right, while other families show clustered distributions.
