So I'm sad that when I tried to recreate the elephant scatter plot, I haven't been able to. Anyone find exact parameters that work for tau and alpha? Just wish they'd given a complete list of the decimal places for those animals. It would've been something to plot them yourself.

In the paper you find a link to a GitHub repo that should have all results being reproducible

And here is the relevant notebook for animal shapes: https://github.com/Ranlot/single-parameter-fit/blob/a065af75...
