Being technological, they would start with 0. That is, if they even
classified themselves as a species.
Do they number other animals or just sentient beings?

mixture of many.
They only number sentient beings that are flag marked for assimilation I
believe

They gave the Kazon a numerical designation, even though they were
deemed biologically and technologically unremarkable, and unworthy of
assimilation.

I've always assumed they where the first, and as a technological species
this would mean they were species 0. As for the numbers for other species, I
believe they count them all, even inferior ones.

But their are over a million different species of animal on Earth alone, and yet
the species numbers don't seem to go above 10000 yet.

In Dark Frontier Part 2, the Queen unleashed an attack on species
10026, proving they go over the 10000 mark.

means. Galactic cluster 3 is a transmaterial energy plane
intersecting 22 billion omnicordial life forms.
Episode: The Gift [VOY]
Species 262
Remarks: Primitive race assimilated in 2145. (229 years before this

which could burn the sky. This lead the Borg to 13 more species
(including 263) before finding one with useful scientific
information about Omega.

Human
Remarks: Warp-capable. Origin: Grid 325. Physiology: inefficient.
Below-average cranial capacity. Minimal redundant systems.
Limited regenerative abilities. The Hansens may have been the first
humanoids assimilated in 2356 while studying the Borg in the Delta
Quadrant. This may have also led to the Borg's first scouting
missions to the Alpha Quadrant where they attacked outposts along
the Romulan Neutral Zone in 2364.

11 billion individuals assimilated. They created a biological
agent carried within their bodies which when they are assimilated,
mutates into a synthetic pathogen which spreads to, and attacks
the programs within the Vinculum of Borg vessels as a virus attacks
living cells. Their first encounter with the Borg was 4 years before
this episode.
Example: Ven
Episode: Infinite Regress [VOY]
Species 6961
Ktarians

Species 8472
Remarks: Encountered in 2373 in fluidic space, they are the only
species to offer true resistance to the Borg.
They destroyed millions of drones and hundreds of Borg worlds.
They cannot be assimilated because any chemical, biological, or
technological attempts to penetrate its cell membrane are instantly
destroyed. They are a Telepathic species. Their DNA is 100x more
densely coded than human DNA. Their tech is biogenically engineered.
Their assimilation would have greatly added to the Borg's perfection.
Their bodies generate a bioelectric field that can't be scanned
through. They are native to fluidic space which can be accessed
by creating a singularity using deflector technology. The thoracic
crest appears to be its most vulnerable spot.
Episode: Scorpion [VOY]
Species 10026
Remarks: Race which was assimilated in 2376. Their vessels lack
maneuverability, but they've developed a modulating phaser pulse
that can penetrate Borg shields. The Borg easily adapted by
triaxialating their shield matrix.
