Over 8 Million Species

How many different species of animals exist in the world
The latest estimate, about 8.7 million, makes my head twirl
To catalogue them here
Take bout a thousand years
Majority haven't been catalogued, my head's in a whirl

Patricia Cresswell Date: 9/1/2017 9:02:00 AM Too true Jack. It pains me to think that there is a wondrous creature that may disappear by our hand and we would't even know of its existence. I enjoy reading your lips about nature. Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 9/2/2017 7:34:00 AM Lips are good!!! Patricia Cresswell Date: 9/1/2017 10:03:00 AM Lims not lips my fingers betray me.damn!
