Why is there long lists of canines and felines on this page instead of the page specifically related to dogs and cats?

hi-falutin scientifical language[edit]

The structure and size of the muzzle or face as related to the cranium or skull is classified as the craniofacial ratio, (cranio- combining form meaning head or skull and facial- combining form referring to the facial structures).

When the words face and cranium have already appeared in the sentence, might one have faith in the reader to guess that the word craniofacial is related to them? If we must have the (shallow) etymology, I'd recommend against using the word facial in a definition of the element facial. —Tamfang (talk) 07:50, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
