[edit] About this template
This template lets you show the basic specs of an animal to the reader. It is intended to be useful to people seeking a quick understanding of the animal, akin to the tables of stats one can find in some paleontology textbooks, or even more often in layman's dinosaur books.
It is still being developed.
It was complicated to write, but is easy to use. I'm ripping off Taxobox code as a starting point. The usage should be self-evident, but I will work up an explanation for it ASAP. For an example in practice, look at the edit page of Paleobox - [1]. Most parameters are optional, so if a particular entry is not relevant for your case, just leave it out.
