  But in a centaur, the human torso is placed where the horse neck would be. If it was the torso that was replaced they would look more like satyrs.

      A Giraffe’s shoulder height is like 8 to 13ft, no way ms.curly is only 5’11

        You’re not wrong, but I was very much regretting my decision to search for giraffe centaurs at all, and Ms. Curly was a safe enough option with the proportions I was trying to communicate.

    The torso is a tricky concept, there’s no good anatomical definition that makes sense. Is the pelvis included? The whole axial skeleton? Everyone knows the general idea of where the torso is, but it’s hard to define with precision.
