    36% of all mammals! That’s a lot actually. I’m less surprised about livestock being 60%, sounds plausible, but humans being half of the livestock mass that is very surprising.

      That’s insane. Those poor mammal populations. I would have been surprised at 3% but 36 is just horrifying. Yet another reason human overpopulation is the worst disaster to hit this planet.
