What is the largest animal?

When he asked what the most frequent animal in the world, most people assume insects. America's entomological company claims that insects are 1.6 billion times more than humans, in this case there would be about 10 19 insects. Insects, although they are various animals (with more than a million species described by science), are not the most numerous animals - they are too large, usually measured in millimeters or centimeters. To find the largest animal, we must approach a smaller scale. Like insects, mites are assumed to contain more than a million different species, but this is even more impressive than in the case of insects. This is because the mites (acarina) are just a subclass of the organism, while insects (insecta) are a class, a higher taxonomic division. Lesser smaller size mites, around millimeters of millimeters. This small size, along with their rapid reproductive speed and ubiquitous range, is reasonable to estimate that mites exceed insects at least 10: 1. If so, existsMore than 10 20

mites on the ground.

There are even more numerous organisms than mites and insects. These include different types of microfaunas, especially non -atures, also known as round horn. Nematodes are very small (many of them have about 1000 cells and measure 1-2 mm in length) and very numerous. They cover virtually every square inch Earth and the sea. Nematodes account for 90% of all life on the bottom of the ocean. In some fertile areas of topsoil is a square mile through a trillion. Most biologists agree that the non -plays are the most ubiquitous and largest animal on Earth. It is reasonable to estimate that Nematodes exceeds 10: 1 mites and probably more than 100: 1.
