Is it mass or weight? --173.245.53.119 06:38, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- It says weight. Since most land animals live on the... land, there is not much difference. I suppose if a lot of aninimals lived near a prime pole vaulting location it could skew the results. 108.162.246.117 06:40, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
I'm really curious, what are the other, unlabeled groupings? Author's website 108.162.215.46 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
On page 186, there is a bar chart with the following values in millions of tons (*=not used in Randall's graphic): elephants 0.8 horses 40 pigs 100 cattle 450 people 280 *whales 80 *all wild vertebrates 30 *all domesticated vertebrates 650
I think that this graph is actually more illustrative of how much support humans need to maintain themselves (the amount of cattle is astonishing). lcarsos_a (talk) 07:58, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
