Researchers from Imperial College London , UCL , Dalhousie University and the United Nations Environment Program World Conservation Monitoring Center created a new simulation of the diversity of species across the globe.

They used their method to estimate that there are between 1 million and 3 million species of animal life on land, including all the species not yet known to science.

When comparing the differences between carnivores, omnivores and herbivores, the scientists found that carnivores evolved at the highest rate.
