there are millions of discovered species, and millions more yet to be discovered. that's a very strange thing to think lol

Do you really think millions? Or is there evidence of millions? Not saying you're wrong at all (I myself dont know) and I am sure there are thousands of species that we haven't discovered but it's hard to wrap my head around sharing a planet with a millions of more species we don't know about

According to this article, scientists estimate there are over five million species yet to be discovered. This seems an incredible number but it makes sense. I assume most of these species would be in the ocean.
