Понад 95% відомих видів тварин — безхребетні | More Than 95% of Known Animal Species Are Invertebrates
More than 95% of described animal species are invertebrates, meaning animals without a backbone. A figure of about 97% is often cited, but the exact share depends on the catalog of known species and classification, and new species are regularly described. This is a share of species, not the number of individual animals or of all life: plants, fungi, and microorganisms are not included. The illustration was created with AI.
