Scientific illustrator Mark Balen of @artscistudios has a wonderful new infographic out: The Global Biomass of Mammalian Life

And Earth is full of cows. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/biomass-of-mammals/ #SharedPlanet

Visualizing the Biomass of All the World’s Mammals

When the world's biomass—the stuff we're made of—is tallied up, humans and cattle outweigh wild mammals by a massive margin.

@Sheril @artscistudios I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if we died out but they didn't... That could be something fun to explore in fiction.

@apodoxus @Sheril @artscistudios The book After Man is an early exploration of evolution imagined forward if humankind disappeared. There have been many others since then focusing also on what happens to human-built stuff - books, documentaries, etc.
