Wow, that is so impossible to answer, you can't even answer how many species there are because there are new species being discovered all the time. There are probably already over a million species! (In 2006-2009, there was about 60 different species being discovered everyday.)

To make this article small, billions and billions and billions and billions and billions of animals. Get the picture? Animals either exist because some god wanted them to, or they exist because they can.

In the case of humans, more than 6 billion whereas in the case of the more endangered animals out there, maybe less than a million.

Species isn't defined by the number of animals, it's a fuzzy word used to denote a group of animals that are genetically similar enough to leave viable (meaning fertile) offspring.

Unless groups of animals are totally isolated, the potential process of speciation is also a continuum.

The truth is - we don't know.

This may surprise you, but we're still discovering new species of animals to this day. Not every corner of the globe has been fully explored. Many areas are also currently too dangerous for humans to explore.

We have also not done very many scientific explorations of our oceans. As a matter of fact, we have sent more scientific missions into space compared to scientific missions in our own oceans.

So, to answer your question - nobody knows.

False. Animals were made the same day as man!!!!! The above is true if you believe exclusively in creationism.
