"Less than half" is an expression that describes a quantity that is smaller than 50% of the total. However, if we want to express the opposite meaning, there are several antonyms that we can use to convey a larger quantity. One of the most common antonyms is "more than half," which indicates that the amount exceeds the majority of the total. Other alternatives include "over half" and "greater than half," both of which suggest a larger portion than "less than half." On the other hand, "equal to half" denotes a quantity that makes up exactly 50% of the total, while "exactly half" is precisely 50%. By using these antonyms, we can express different quantities and clarify the meaning of the original phrase.

• The Smokies seem to be in the process of losing most of their mussels. The National Park Service actually has something of a tradition of making things extinct. Bryce Canyon National Park is perhaps the most interesting—certainly the most striking—example. It was founded in 1923 and in less than half a century under the Park Service’s stewardship lost seven species of mammal—the white-tailed jackrabbit, prairie dog, pronghorn antelope, flying squirrel, beaver, red fox, and spotted skunk. Quite an achievement when you consider that these animals had survived in Bryce Canyon for tens of millions of years before the Park Service took an interest in them. Altogether, forty-two species of mammal have disappeared from America’s national parks this century.
