Summary

Description
English: Chart showing relative proportions of biomass of various mammal species as a fraction of global mammal biomass
  • Data source: Bar-On, Yinon M.; Phillips, Rob; Milo, Ron (21 May 2018). "The biomass distribution on Earth". Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) 115 (5): 6506-6511. DOI:10.1073/pnas.1711842115. ● Data is charted by Ritchie, Hannah. Wild mammals make up only a few percent of the world’s mammal biomass. Our World in Data (OWID) (15 December 2022). Archived from the original on 30 August 2025.
  • Ritchie states: "An estimate for pets has been included in the total biomass fgures, but is not shown on the visualizaton because it makes up less than 1% of the total."
