8,400,400 species
900,00 of which are aquatic
2,000,000 trees and plants
1,100,000 are "small species" and insects and reptiles
1,000,000 are birds
3,000,000 are beasts
400,000 are human species
So, I was bored and no one else wanted to take up the gauntlet. How often do you get to qoute yourself anyway?

This is just Animalia. Don't even get me started on Bacteria, Fungus, and Plants. Some more amusing numbers. Insects make up 80%-90% of total species. The Rishis gave them the shaft, bad representation. The Rishis also believed there to be roughly 100x more human species than there are mammals in total. GG. There's really no way around it, these guys were talking out of their asses, or those that manufacture their statements where talking out of their asses (most likely the latter).
