=== Animals ===
Most animals, specifically [[bilaterianbilateria]]n animals, have a circular mitochondrial genome. [[Medusozoa]] and [[Calcareous sponge|calcarea]] [[clade]]s however have species with linear mitochondrial chromosomes.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Lavrov|first1=Dennis V.|last2=Pett|first2=Walker|date=2016-09-26|title=Animal Mitochondrial DNA as We Do Not Know It: mt-Genome Organization and Evolution in Nonbilaterian Lineages|journal=Genome Biology and Evolution|volume=8|issue=9|pages=2896–2913|doi=10.1093/gbe/evw195|issn=1759-6653|pmc=5633667|pmid=27557826}}</ref>
 
In terms of base pairs, the anemone ''Isarachnanthus nocturnus'' has the largest mitochondrial genome of any animal at 80,923 bp.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Stampar|first1=Sérgio N.|last2=Broe|first2=Michael B.|last3=Macrander|first3=Jason|last4=Reitzel|first4=Adam M.|last5=Brugler|first5=Mercer R.|last6=Daly|first6=Marymegan|date=2019-04-15|title=Linear Mitochondrial Genome in Anthozoa (Cnidaria): A Case Study in Ceriantharia|journal=Scientific Reports|volume=9|issue=1|page=6094|doi=10.1038/s41598-019-42621-z|issn=2045-2322|pmc=6465557|pmid=30988357|bibcode=2019NatSR...9.6094S}}</ref>
