Average lifetimes of each species? Chickens probably have the lowest.

did the spiders, slugs and other invertebrates refuse to take part in the census?

Never mind the slugs. There are probably over a thousand million million houseflies in the UK.

Same could be said for mice, rabbits, rats and pigeons, looks like species cleansing to me.

About 7 million of those cats seem to visit my garden.

I suspect pigeons & rats would come out top after humans in a London species population survey.

Wow, what happened to that scare statistic that for every human there were multiple rats hiding out of sight

dg writes: It's a scare statistic, based on a book written in 1909.

Wow. The deer figure really surprises me.

You forgot the fleas...several billion probably...I think my cat has the majority of them :(

>>...after WW2 92% before WW2 5%

Is the other 3% during WW2? :)

dg writes: Yes. Obviously.
