The box plot for dogs shows a relatively symmetrical distribution with a small spread of weights. The median weight appears to be around 35 pounds, with evenly spread quartiles on either side. On the other hand, the box plot for cats shows a skewed distribution with weights clustering towards the lower end. The spread of weights is wider for cats compared to dogs, with a lower median weight around 15 pounds and quartiles that are not evenly distributed.
From these two box plots, we can conclude that dogs tend to have more consistent weights with a narrower range, while cats have a wider range of weights with more variability. Additionally, the median weight for dogs is higher than for cats, indicating that dogs are generally heavier than cats on average.
