Abstract

"Shockingly tiny" fraction of our planet's mammal mass is wild species What wild mammal treads most heavily on the land? At Milo's lab, Lior Greenspoon and Eyal Krieger were able to find detailed data on the global number, body weight, range, and other measures for 392 wild mammal species, enough to calculate their total biomass directly. Wild mammals far outweighed by humans and domestic animals. [Extracted from the article]
