I think you had us all confused, otherwise you would’ve gotten brown rat in the first couple posts. No harm, no foul.
Any estimates on numbers? Billions? Yeech.
The buffalo???
okay, maybe I should stop using my 19th century Children’s encyclopædia.

Unless pelagic animals have learnt how to photosynthesize, this cannot possibly be true.

The plant life in open oceans, the phytoplankton, is mostly microscopic, that is algae, diatoms, dinoflagellates, etc. There are also huge numbers of photosynthetic cyanobacteria. Most creatures that eat phytoplankton directly are also very small, the zooplankton. It’s true that most of the larger sea life eats animals, but those smaller animals do eat plants or bacteria.
Well, except for the fact that “rat” is explicitly ruled out in the thread title.
Apparently we were not supposed to consider the genus Rattus as one category. Species within the genus are A-OK.
Sheep are out, the Chinese alone outnumber them.
What about rabbits?
Did anyone suggest rats?
:dubious:
Who’s confused now? I see no need to bring birds into this.
Killer Whales, Orcas
You woke a three year old thread to give a completely, bizarrely wrong answer? Not a good first move on a message board dedicated to fighting ignorance. Welcome though.
TinkerT, we allow old threads to be revived in General Questions in order to provide new information. Since the global population of Orcas is probably well under 100,000, and other species of mammals number in the millions, it clearly is wrong. Therefore I’m going to close this.
