toxicodendron radicans

Polite reminder: Earth is a tree planet with some bacteria. Everything else is just the extra stuff that lives here too.

Diagram showing Earth life in terms of relative biomass (basically, how much all life on Earth weighs). Plants make up 450 billion tons, most of which is from trees. Bacteria are 70 billion tons. Fungi are 12 billion tons. All animals make up only 2 billion tons. All humans are just 60 million tons. We thank our leafy overlords.

Seeing as a couple of people have noted that there's more virus on Earth than there is human...

Sea water is absolutely teeming with them! But don't panic. Most of them only hunt bacteria, and wouldn't bother with us even if they had the opportunity.

The number of viruses which cause illnesses is just a tiny, tiny fraction of the full number of viruses which exist out there. Biologists are discovering new ones all the time!
