    • but I find it hard to believe that there are more buffalo on the planet than all the wild mammals including marine mammals?_niko
    • also there are 7 billion rats on the planet, and another 20 billion mice and countless bats, still having a hard time seeing how the wild biomass is so low_niko
    • I think it's because they are using "biomass" rather than number of animals?yuekit

    • Yeah it’s probably right just having a hard time accepting the numbers it’s just not intuitive. Especially the Buffalo part_niko
    • That's total biomass, not count, so being large helps?drgs
    • When it comes to wild mammals, almost all the big animals are on the verge of extinction. There are only a few thousand tigers left in the world for instance.yuekit
    • About 10,000 blue whales in total. We humans have been so successful at wiping out these threats, it's really amazing.yuekit
