Na'vi diversity

[Banefull]

NA'VI VARY IN SIZE, BY REGION AND GENETIC HISTORY. MAXIMUM RECORDED HEIGHT IS 5.9 METERS, WITH A MASS OF 290 KG, FOR A NA'VI MALE. ADULT NA'VI MALES IN THE REGION OF AUSTRALIS SURROUNDING HELLS GATE, AVERAGE 3 METERS IN HEIGHT AND 210 KG.

I get funny images in my head imagining a human standing next to a Navi thats over 3 times his or her own height.

Perhaps this gives a good comparison of what 6 meters tall is like...

Heee, I get funny images of an Omaticaya-sized Na'vi standing next to the taller variety, thinking "this must be how Sky People feel around us."

I also get funny images of what polar Na'vi must look like. Being all long and lean wouldn't bode well for heat conservation at all. Maybe instead they're short and blubbery?

*snorts* Shorter, stockier, wears clothes, I'm guessing. If the Omaticaya have been in Hometree for about ten thousand years, more than than enough time has passed for the more Arctic Na'vi to have internal adaptations like the Inuit and the reindeer-herders in Siberia.

But, hmmm. Clothes would also be good if there was hair/fur to trap the warmth in - maybe Pandora does actually have creatures with hair/fur in other regions? It already have an interesting variety with numbers of eyes and limbs.

But on Pandorapedia website, the stated maximum height is 3.9 meters, not 5.9, with the same mass figure.
