Fun fact: Humans are just one of the estimated 8.7 million species on Earth
Humans are at the top of a large animal kingdom that encompasses roughly 8.74 million species on Earth, according to a 2011 study published in the PLOS Biology journal.
The study found that there are 7.8 million species of animals, 298,000 species of plants, 611,000 species of fungi, 36,400 species of protozoa and 27,500 species of algae or chromists.
So, whenever you’re feeling alone, just remember that we share the planet with millions of other living beings who all come in different shapes and sizes.
