Interesting article talks about 8.7 million species on earth. There is much talk in Eastern wisdom about 84 Lakh (Lakh/Lac = 100,000) species or 8.4 million species. What gives!

After 100's if not thousands of years, fascinating to see the count being within 3.5%.

I don't know the basis of original number but it is very very amazingly strange.

World citizen!
Breaking down the number, 6.5 million species are on land, and 2.2 million are in the ocean. But of those species, 86 per cent of land-inhabitants and 91 per cent of ocean-dwellers have not yet been discovered, described or catalogued, the study reports.

When you don't know the missing pieces, how can you possibly say what the final count is?! :confusedkudi:
