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.

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

90%+ chickens are bred for food, I don’t think there’s all that many truly wild chickens out there anymore.
