More than 99 percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species, [7] that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million, [ 10 ] of which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described.

The goat is a terrestrial animal.. Terrestrial animals are animals that live predominantly or entirely on land (e.g. cats, chickens, ants, most spiders), as compared with aquatic animals, which live predominantly or entirely in the water (e.g. fish, lobsters, octopuses), and semiaquatic animals, which rely on both aquatic and terrestrial habitats (e.g. platypus, most amphibians).
Lists only exist for some orders; for example, the most diverse order - rodents - is missing. Much of the data in these lists were created by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Global Mammal Assessment Team, which consists of 1700 mammalogists from over 130 countries. They recognize 5488 species in the class. [1] [2]
In 2011 a study published in PLoS Biology estimated there to be 8.7 million ± 1.3 million eukaryotic species on Earth. [11] By 2017, most estimates projected there to be around 11 million species or fewer on Earth. [4] A 2017 study estimated there are around at least 1 to 6 billion species, 70-90% of which are bacteria. [4]
One of the 25 most endangered primates. [7] Delacour's langur: Trachypithecus delacouri: 234–275 [8] CR [8] [8] The population of the species has radically decreased over the past decade. [8] Silky sifaka: Propithecus candidus: 250 [9] CR [9] [9] Estimate is believed to be a maximum. [9] Tonkin snub-nosed monkey: Rhinopithecus avunculus: 250 ...
The most abundant zooplankton species are copepods and krill: tiny crustaceans that are the most numerous animals on Earth. Other types of zooplankton include jelly fish and the larvae of fish, marine worms, starfish, and other marine organisms". [63]

The Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is one of the most abundant animal species on earth, with a biomass of around 500 million tonnes. Each individual is 6 centimetres (2.4 in) long and weighs over 1 gram (0.035 oz). [40]
