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.

Another suggestion would be to not include the number of blocks in the label. That doesn’t make sense. If you want an absolute number to be included, but the weight (scaled to millions of tons appropriately). It is less abstract than number of blocks.

Also, this is more subjective, but the font makes it look very amateur in my opinion.

Cool, thanks! I’d love to see this format with pets and livestock broken down.

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.

They don’t spend 98% of their life on the ground in the wild. They sleep in trees, just like turkeys and peacocks.
