      Hi Davbash.

      As far as we know there’s anything between 10 – 1000 mln, but personally I’d say no less than 100 million species around today. The world is a crazy abundant place and we should work to preserve it in all it’s wonderfulness 🙂

      This is impossible to answer because we still don’t know how many species there are on this planet. We discover new ones every week! However, there are 34 different types of body architecture in animals. There are five different kingdoms of life, the Animalia, Plants, Fungi, Archaebacteria and Bacteria. There are SO many life forms we can’t count them all!
