I was at a trivia night and a question was, "Apart from humans, what's the two highest populated species in the animal kingdom?"

Now, I'm not the smartest brain inhabiting a future corpse, but I did do basics in school.

I say to my group, "Maybe plankton? But I don't know if there's some technicality over that being a plant or something. If I were to guess, probably ants and then flies." We agreed and went with that.

NOPE!!!

Cats and dogs apparently!!!

This didn't even make sense to us if considering just the mammals.

I protested.

The quiz master said "The question is about the animal kingdom."

"Well, if insects aren't animals, what are they?"

He dug in his heels, we weren't getting the points. And to make things even more bizarre, most other teams said cats and/or dogs to get 1 or 2 points.

We found a new trivia night.

I would have guessed ants, but I think they're just in the top 10? I wonder if humans are even in the top 1000, lol.
