That should be "Earth's land Mammals." Ants and termites, to mention just two groups of insects, have total masses somewhere around the total mass of humans. http://www.antweb.org/antblog/2010/10/do-ants-really-have-the-largest-biomass-of-all-species-on-earth-laurie-usa.html. There are also a whole lot of fish out there. And a fair number of birds.
