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.

This little side graphic showing the ratio of cattle to other mammalian life is just... wow. More than humans, 10x more than marine mammals (which includes whales!) and 20x more than all wild terrestrial mammals.

Thank you for including it!
