The gyrfacon,an Arctic bird of prey,has survived a close brush with extinction;its number are now five times greater than when the use of DDT was sharply restricted in the early 1970's.
请教各位,上句是正确的,但为什么是its numbers are 而不是its number is?

谢谢!
MM做题真是很细心。其实，在正式场合，表示数目的话，numbers也是正规用法。如：member numbers increase in CD forum. numbers的这种用法好像比number还要正式。也即，优先选择numbers。OG是没有错的。
