View submission: xkcd 1338: Land Mammals
This is a pretty cool idea, but very poorly executed, which is surprising. It's very difficult to compare the sizes of cattle and humans, for example. At first glance, I thought there was more biomass of cattle, but it may just look like that because how the cattle overlaps the humans. Also, there are so many unlabelled sections that it's basically useless unless you want to know about humans, common livestock, and elephants...
Maybe an 'other' category would be good as well? Because anything less than a million tons won't show up, and maybe the sum of species less than a million tons is a significant amount of land mammal biomass.
There's nothing here!
