Fig. 3.

A simplistic depiction of the global distribution of wild land mammal biomass density, based on overlaying the biomass and ranges of all species and assuming that each species is evenly spread throughout its range. Although this assumption can create unrealistically uniform patches across large areas, it provides a holistic overview and displays the dominance of the species with the largest overall biomass. The estimated total biomass is noted for each continent, together with the name of the top mass contributor and its relative biomass contribution to the said continent. This analysis excludes the feral pig (Sus scrofa) biomass in North America and Australia due to lack of range data.
