[Music] so Lola unknown they're also called Asian unicorns and they're one of the rarest large mammals you can find or not find they've only ever been seen four times since their discovery in 1992 pygmy three-toed sloth under 50 the smallest member of the sloth family all known for traveling less than half the length of a football field in a whole day two-toed sloths also have three toes its fingers they only have two of but hey who's counting Sumatran rhinoceros under 80 meat the only Rhino with two horns they're more closely related to the extinct woolly Rhino who lived at the same time as woolly mammoths than any other species today they're also the smallest a more leopard 100 these cats know how to dress for the weather the fur on their winter coat is almost three times longer than their summer one their spot patterns are as unique to them as fingerprints are to us purple frog 135 a face only a mother could love these lumpy guys are made for living underground their skeleton is stronger than other frogs to withstand the weight of the soil they have that funny nose to better slurp up ants and termites tasty greater bamboo lemur under 150 their name gives these lemurs away they're one of the very few mammals who stick to the bamboo diet they're also easily recognizable thanks to white Tufts on their ears Peruvian black spider monkey 300 and this just in zoos wild population numbers are still unknown unlike many others these monkeys don't have thumbs who needs them when you have a grippy swingy tail longer than your body seneca white deer 300 these mystic looking animals aren't albino they're lucid 'ok so they don't entirely lack pigmentation their coats are just all wide Carola 400 also called four-eyed antelope they have huge glands under their eyes that they use to mark their territory probably where the phrase I think I can spot that from here came from Ely pika 1000 they seem to be tailless but it's not true they have one of the longest tails of all lagomorph that includes rabbits and hares it's just hidden in their super dense fur giant otter mm twice the size of their North American cousins their 6 foot long bodies are covered with fur from head to toe including their nose great white shark 3500 don't let the name for you they're mostly gray - that white underside and they're not the greatest the largest species is the whale shark but they can detect just a little blood up to three miles away Syrian hamster under 5000 in the wild as pets there are 6 million of them also known as the golden hamster these are the largest ones true to their rodent danger they constantly non thanks to where their teeth down since they never stop growing the teeth that is white rump vulture under 10,000 unlike many other birds their head and neck are featherless to theories for why that is one they can more easily clean themselves after a messy meal and two it keeps them cool um nothing here about why they're white rumps are important so we'll move on blue whale 10,000 to 25,000 the population of the largest animals that ever existed on this planet is only about 3 to 11 percent of what it was just 100 some years ago and their hearts aren't as big as a car that's a myth they're more like the size of a golf cart still pretty big African lion 20,000 these big cats along with tigers leopards and jaguars oh my can't / they can only roar cats that can purr can't roar hmm you can hear the Lions mighty roar from five miles away grizzly bear 55,000 their claws alone are as long as your fingers together with large muscles it makes them one of the strongest most dangerous animals on the planet giraffe ninety seven thousand five hundred nature's skyscrapers can eat up to 100 pounds of fresh leaves and twigs a day with the help of their six-foot long neck and nearly two foot long tongue Pangolin 100,000 this is the only mammal in the world covered from head to toe in scales those scales are made up of the same thing your fingernails are keratin they make up to 20% of the pangolins weight saltwater crocodile 200,000 their name is a bit misleading they can also live in freshwater as well as in swamps mostly dwelling in hot areas they open their big mouths to stay cool wolf 300,000 the largest member of the canine family these top-notch hunters can smell other animals more than a mile away African elephant 415,000 it's not hard to tell them from their Asian cousins African elephants have bigger ears like I do also both males and females can have tusks while only male Asian elephants have them plain zebra 500,000 that dazzling coat is multifunctional it's used for communication and temperature control black stripes absorb heat while white don't which creates a sort of airflow that cools their bodies bottlenose dolphins 600,000 dolphins don't just leap out of the water to breathe it also helps them travel faster there's less resistance in the air than in the water giant squid 4.3 million it's pretty hard to count how many of these behemoths are they're because they're not easy to spot but they could easily spot you their eye is as big as your head well that's unsettling donkey 45,000,000 most people can't remember who they met last week donkeys can remember someone they met 25 years ago that's why they're in politics horse 58 million the only animal family with a single digit yep horses walk around on one toe and sometimes they have to hoof it chipping sparrow 200 million they can get creative when building a nest doing so not only in shrubs but also your toolbox pigeon 400 million true city slickers their population grows proportionally as our own dust but some island countries like Madagascar Iceland and Papua New Guinea don't have any pigeons at all but their cars stay clean a mourning dove 475 million they get their name from their lament like calls oh woe is me cats 600 million your kitty has more bones than you humans have 206 cats 244 they spend 70% of their lives sleeping you'll spend about 30% of your life asleep pigs 680 million and more than half of those are in China piglets can recognize not only moms grudge but also their own like I do goats 860 million these animals have rectangular pupils that give them a field of vision up to 340 degrees they're also one of the first animals to be domesticated together with dogs and sheep dogs 900 million Fido's nose is wet because it helps a dog smell better well maybe not smell better but they sniffed the air better that's why he's always licking his snout cows 990 million more than 30% of all the cows in the world live in India they spend about eight hours a day eating and can drink a whole tub full of water in a single day sheep 1.1 billion if you didn't share it your sheep's wool would grow forever unlike wild breeds domesticated sheep don't shed red bilk whele 1.5 billion they have the largest population of wild birds on our planet one colony can have up to 30 million members in it these little things are farmers worst nightmare one flock can easily destroy over 300 tons of grain in a single day hey we all got to eat humans seven point eight billion and ever-growing the global population has gotten five times larger since the beginning of the 20th century at this rate we might hit the ten billion record by 2050 just imagine the lines for the bathroom then rats over seven billion it's nearly impossible to know exactly how many rats there are in the whole planet but experts say it's probably a one-to-one ratio with humans when you consider all the rodent species they make up 40% of all the planets mammals rats chicken 24 billion there are so many domestic chickens that every human being could have three of them so there really could be a chicken in every pot no surprise chicken spread so fast one hand can lay up to 300 eggs in a year a color depends on the hens earlobe color white lobes mean white eggs and red lobe hens produce brown ones well close enough earthworm 1.3 quadrillion like rats it's hard to know how many worms are hiding under your feet right now do but consider this on one farm alone their combined weight would be greater than all the livestock on the surface altogether they'd wait 10 times more than all the humans on the planet ants one to ten quadrillion they've been around since the dinosaurs unlike many other species they survived the Ice Age pretty strange they don't live in Antarctica now bacteria one quadrillion quadrillion there's nowhere to hide from bacteria every sip of water you take contains millions of them every sip you taste the good ones inside your body outnumber your cells ten to one and they count for up to three percent of your total weight all the bacteria in the world would outweigh all the animals and plants inhabiting this earth sweet dreams [Music]
