Isn’t it one in every four different animals that are beetles? I’d imagine if you picked four random animals they’d mainly be nematodes. Or if it’s by mass they’d be humans and cows!
The takeaway message: to maximize your number of potential friends, focus on making invertebrate friends and don’t bother with the few billion humans ;)
Marine plankton include bacteria, archaea, algae, protozoa, microscopic fungi, and drifting or floating animals that inhabit the saltwater of oceans and the brackish waters of estuaries

Pedantry is always important! I would argue that ants would be selected over humans by both mass and population
Ah, I was thinking of this xkcd but it’s land mammals only!
I did some low-effort Googling and now I’m seeing that maybe some sea critters like krill have the highest non-bacteria biomass.
Either way, none of these are beetles!
But biomass shouldn’t be relevant here, right? Individual numbers determine how many friends you might potentially have.
Keep arguing folks, i’m learning so much that i never knew i needed to learn. Quickly turning into my favourite community here <3

What about plankton? Aren’t they animals?
Apparently they’re all sorts!
