Hi everyone!

The quiz was researched by me.

So any mistakes are welcome.

Interesting! Presumably it's from here? A weird methodology - ignoring invertebrates, fungi, non-vascular plants etc. But perhaps including those figures wouldn't make much difference to the order.

Kind of surprised Canada has that little biodiversity considering how much forests they have. Also, I'm surprised Denmark isn't on here considering Greenland.
