Study Reveals Earth Has 1 Trillion Species, Only 0,001% Are Known

[etienne_marais]

An analysis that looks at the intersection of large data sets of cataloged species and universal scaling laws has concluded that Earth may be home to nearly 1 trillion species, with only one-thousandth of 1 percent now identified. Yes, that’s one-thousandth of a single percent. This assertion comes thanks to a study from biologists at Indiana University (IU).

Was a decent attempt though.

They're included bacteria and whatnot so that's not surprising really...bacteria probably evolve faster than you can count them.

Species is a man made term/divide, so you can pick any number and just adjust the line to where you want.

Are chupacabras and drop bears part of that?

Remember Zana?

How would you know? That was even before my time.
