VERIFY:length_max_m: stored=1.2 suggested=1.75 confidence=medium — Current literature summaries of Heterodontosaurus tucki give a body length range of about 1.18 m for the well-known articulated skeleton SAM-PK-K1332 up to possibly 1.75 m for larger referred material, so the stored maximum only reflects the smaller skeleton.
