Infographic illustration showing all the biomass of mammalian life on Earth. One cube represents 20 million tonnes of biomass. The most dominant form of mammalian life is domesticated mammals (brown and red) at 651 million tonnes, followed by humans (orange) at 394 million tonnes. Wild marine mammals (blue) account for 40 million tonnes and wild terrestrial mammals (green) for 24 million tonnes. This visualisation is based on data by Greenspoon, L. et al, The global biomass of wild mammals, PNAS, 2023.
