This is good, but presenting the blobs as such different shapes makes it harder to get a sense of relative size. (Obviously some of the differences are huge enough it doesn't matter, but comparing humans and cattle say.)
And which blob is chickens? I guess chickens are so much smaller and lighter than other domestic animals they don't show very big here.
It's specifically a visualization of land mammals, so chickens wouldn't appear, being birds.
Fair enough, but in a way chickens kinda should be on there anyways. They can't exactly fly very far, spend like 98% of their life on the ground, and humans breed them for food.
I think the argument was chickens not being mammals.
Ah, indeed. Still seems they should have been a bit more broad than restricting the data to land mammals, more like humans vs food.
Oh well, it is what it is.
